Rt 114 & 35 Signalization Project

In this project, the blinking 4 way stop at the Rt 35 and 114 intersection in Sebago Lake Village is to be removed while adaptive traffic signals with mast arms for each approach are proposed to be installed. Adaptive signals are sometimes called smart signals because they are designed and programmed to learn from traffic conditions in real time and adapt to those conditions to improve traffic flow in the corridor. Backup is more prone on certain approaches at certain times of day and the smart signal will adapt to these conditions to allow a green signal for longer on those approaches. Adaptive traffic signals are beginning to be installed at more locations in Maine, and they are showing success in measurably improving traffic flow.

The project includes, but is not limited to, the following items:

• Reconstructing and widening the intersection of Route 114 and Route 35 which includes changing single lane approaches into two lane approaches, including dedicated left turn lanes
• Constructing new 5-foot sidewalks at each corner of the intersection.
• Installation of approximately 1950 feet of new slipform curb.
• Installation of new signal equipment including, but not limited to, mast arms, pedestal poles, junction boxes, signal heads and pedestrian countdown heads with sign and push buttons.
• Installing ADA compliant ramps, crosswalks and pedestrian signal around the intersection.
• Stormwater drainage improvements.

The estimated cost of the project is around $1.7 million. Of that, MaineDOT will be contributing $625,000. All work is proposed in the state right of way, no private property is being encroached on for this project. Shaw Brothers Construction, Gorham, Maine was awarded the bid by the Town Council in a competitive bid process. Please understand it is Shaw Brother’s intent to complete as much of the work as possible (including base paving) prior to the peak traffic period that occurs starting Memorial Day weekend. However, traffic mast arms are experiencing supply delays and will not be available for several months. Two lane approaches cannot be utilized safely without mast signal arms and therefore, a lane closure and temporary striping will be present until the mast arms can be installed.
