Maine Department of Transportation’s Brian Cooley said paving along Townsend Avenue and Oak Street will be put on hold for Windjammer Days. MDOT Commissioner Bruce Van Note received a letter from the Windjammer Days committee requesting the work be postponed.

Contractor Hagar Enterprises will instead focus on other scheduled projects in the area before resuming the downtown work after the week of festivities, said Cooley. Some of that work includes a stretch of Route 27 in Southport, Barters Island Road and River Road.
