Bucknam Bridge Road Resiliency Improvements

Sebago Technics is leading a multi-disciplinary team of transportation and civil engineers, permitting specialists, environmental scientists, GIS experts, and geotechnical professionals to develop comprehensive design solutions addressing the impacts of inland flooding.

Our approach has combined hydraulic modeling and 3-Dimensional Roadway Modeling to evaluate alternatives with stakeholders to determine the most effective, sustainable solution for this critical piece of infrastructure in order to withstand current storm events, as well as future conditions. Sebago has led an effort to raise the roadway by up to five feet in areas to mitigate flooding conditions for future storm surges. We have developed a design that is sustainable for the long-term plans of this roadway, while also minimizing impacts to adjacent properties which include a cemetery. By leveraging our extensive experience with similar municipal resilience projects throughout Maine, including numerous stream crossing and culvert replacements, we’re uniquely positioned to deliver a roadway design that will withstand future storm events.

Working collaboratively with the Town and relevant stakeholders, our team is navigating the permitting process and developing final design plans that balance technical excellence with community needs.

The project is supported by Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund (MIAF) grant funding, demonstrating the State’s commitment to building climate-resilient infrastructure. Sebago will also be assisting the Town in applying for construction funding through this program in order to see this design implemented.

Sebago Technics is committed to shaping a more resilient future for the Town of Minot through innovative engineering solutions that protect critical infrastructure while honoring community values.
