缅因州约克县基特里市1号公路安全改造获1074.88万美元联邦拨款:2020至2024年沿线150多起车祸

据《朴次茅斯先驱报》10月30日报道,缅因州基特里市获得近1100万美元联邦资金,用于改善1号公路走廊的交通安全。基特里市规划与发展主任杰森·加纳姆表示,这笔拨款将覆盖1号公路首期改造工程,路段从牛角点大道至哈利路,施工预计于2030年开始。联邦参议员苏珊·柯林斯办公室公布,这笔交通部拨款总额为1074.88万美元。2020年至2024年间,1号公路走廊共发生150多起车祸,其中3起造成人员死亡或重伤,柯林斯曾在5月致信交通部长肖恩·达菲为这笔资金争取支持。首期工程的修正估算造价为1350万美元,联邦拨款约占80%,其余部分由市政府承担。改造范围将一直延伸至该市与约克市的边界。去年,市议会通过了“零愿景”倡议,目标是在2050年前彻底消除该走廊的交通死亡与伤害。市政府曾在2025年申请交通部“人人安全街道与道路”拨款但未成功,此次获批被视为该市交通安全工作的重要进展。
Maine Announces $40 Million for U.S. Route 1 Improvements in Kittery, York County, Including Roads, Walkways and Safety
Maine transportation officials have announced about $40 million for improvements along U.S. Route 1 in the town of Kittery in York County, covering repaving, guardrails, sidewalks and safety work, with construction to proceed in phases over the coming construction seasons. Route 1 is Maine's principal coastal corridor, and Kittery, the state's southern gateway, absorbs the first wave of weekend tourist traffic from Boston and New Hampshire.
Local officials say phased scheduling will limit summer disruptions, though business groups worry that delays could affect hotel and restaurant revenue. Winter weather and coastal erosion complicate coastal road maintenance, and drivers should follow Maine DOT notices during construction.
