Site work for a bridge / tunnel in Brunswick, Maine. Conceptual plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

A 75 l.f. existing 16 foot inch diameter pipe arch that crosses Bunganuc Road at Bunganuc Brook has been identified by a recent MaineDOT inspection as being poor condition corroding bolts and damaged plates which could lead to failure. Since the stream being handled by the culvert is under the Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction we will need to apply for and get a permit to do the work from them. Our experience has been we will need at least six months for a consultant to survey the site, prepare a culvert design meeting ACOE requirements and then submit an application and get a permit from the ACOE so we are requesting initial funding in one fiscal year for the design and permitting of the culvert replacement. Once it is designed and permitted we would expect to have a better cost estimate for the work. As of July 24, 2024, this project is currently in the FY 2025-2029 CIP. Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction FY 2025-2026.
