State bureau announces $1.4 million in trail projects

AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands announced on Friday a list of 31 state and 23 local trail projects with a combined value of more than $1.4 million.

The projects — including the reconstruction of a collapsed snowmobile bridge in Andover — are awaiting approval for federal funding in the next two weeks, according to bureau officials. The recipient organizations were notified last week.

“Maine’s recreational trails already are among some of the best in the country and offer all kinds of outdoor opportunities for Maine residents and visitors,” said Commissioner Patrick McGowan of the Maine Department of Conservation, which oversees the bureau.
