MDOT’s aerial view of proposed changes to Nequasset Road near George Wright Road. The select board suggests moving the intersection more to the right.
“They came and listened to what we had to say. Now we have to wait and see what they decide.” That’s how David King Sr., chairman of the Woolwich select board, summed up a 90-minute meeting with Maine Department of Transportation officials Friday, April 9.
At issue is $900,000 in proposed improvements to two intersections on Nequasset Road that may include a Route 1 traffic signal. Between the intersections are the municipal building, fire station, Nequasset Meeting House and a 19th century home housing the town’s historical society and farmhouse museum.
