(Lamoine) — Parts of Walker Road and Mill Road are a much nicer ride now following paving in late June. Lane Construction won the paving bid this year with a price just under $33/ton. The section from the end of Mill Road to Route 204 was paved on the Walker Road, while the Mill Road got resurfaced from Route 184 to the point where the previous paving project began last year.

The town will fill in the shoulder drops created by the new macadam layer sometime this summer. It appears the paving project will come in under budget, as early estimates for town meeting pegged the price of material at about $40/ton.

During the budget cycle, Selectmen will explore paving Shore Road and Seal Point Road in 2005.
