Route 9 reconstruction

Issue: The Maine Department of Transportation is rebuilding the road that intersects the Maine Turnpike and connects Route 126 in Sabattus and Route 196 in Lisbon. A crew is working on the Sabattus side of the project. Blasting could take three to four months.

Up next: People should expect up to 7-minute waits along the corridor. Town Manager Rick Bates plans to alert school officials of possible delays along bus routes.

Voters to decide on subdivision

Up Next: The proposed approval will be on the warrant for the June 4 town meeting.
