West Gardiner gets a toll plaza
The Maine Turnpike Authority is planning to move forward with the final phase of adjustments to be made to the Maine Turnpike, according to the department's website.
A service plaza in West Gardiner is scheduled to start construction sometime this month. Landford and Low of Portland was awarded the contract at $7.7 million, turnpike officials said.
The facility, which will be 19,500 square feet, is expected to be the last phase of the turnpike's overall project to renovate the plazas. Besides West Gardiner, new plazas were also built in Kennebunk, Cumberland and Gray, officials said.
The new plaza, officials said, will replace the ones in Lewiston and Litchfield. Crews are expected to finish the work in fall of this year.
