SCARBOROUGH — Work crews on Monday began conducting
intersection improvement work at Dunstan Corner in Scarborough in a project
that will disrupt traffic through the fall.
This project is located at the intersection of
Route 1 with Payne Road, Broadturn Road and Pine Point Road, also known as
Dunstan Corner.
The Payne Road will be relocated and
reconstructed with work that includes excavation, paving, drainage work, curb
replacement, traffic signal upgrades and water main replacements.
Traffic on Route 1 will have two lanes available
in the northbound direction from 6-9 a.m., while two lanes of traffic will be
maintained southbound from 3-6 p.m. One lane of traffic will be maintained at
all times on Route 1. This work will generally take place during the daytime
hours, while paving operations and other incidental work will take place during
the overnight from 6 p.m.-6 a.m. Monday-Thursday with an occasional Sunday.
There will be no night work on Friday or Saturday.
This $2.7 million project, performed by R.J.
Grondin of Gorham, is aimed at improving traffic flow through the area and
improving the safety of Route 1, as well as the intersections along the project
route.
Crews will return in the spring with completion
