Congress Square Delayed Again | Portland Maine News
Description
Portland’s Congress Square upgrade hits another snag—unidentified underground concrete duct bank delays work, pushing completion from July to August. After years of setbacks, including a 2022 contractor exit over similar utility issues, city crews now have help from Maine DOT to reroute and avoid future conflicts. Despite traffic headaches and business disruptions, the project’s safety-focused improvements—new signals, sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping—are back on track. Meanwhile, the park redesign also faces cost hikes and a new contractor search, but by August’s end, residents and visitors may finally enjoy a transformed, smoother downtown square.
