Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System - BACTS

Traffic Impact Notice:

Tomorrow, July 9 (approx. 3-5PM), Public Works in collaboration with Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System - BACTS will begin the installation of traffic calming measures to test roadway improvements in the area of Main Street and Westwood Drive.

During installation, you may notice traffic control and short delays. Thank you for your patience during this important work in our community!

The City is partnering with the Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System to introduce some temporary safety modifications to the intersection of Hammond and Union streets.

The project is meant to introduce design changes that will reduce the number of fatal and serious injury crashes that have occurred at the intersection, while also reducing speeds.

The safety modifications will be introduced in July and then removed in November to accommodate snow removal. But they may be reinstalled at some later point if the project is deemed successful.

Workers in July will introduce lane extensions, enhanced with flexposts (flexible, vertical plastic markers used for traffic management), and close the portion of Fourth Street that connects to the Hammond/Union intersection.

Residents are encouraged to participate in a survey to offer their feedback about the intersection: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/7a87ff3595d046318b7c314d28de6d33
