What actions should be taken after the right of way work is completed?

The appropriate action after the completion of right of way work is to notify the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) for final approval and inspection. This process ensures that the work has been conducted according to the standards and regulations set forth by the state. It also allows for any necessary assessments of the work to be made, ensuring that it meets safety and operational criteria.

By involving MaineDOT, you maintain compliance with state policies and contribute to the overall integrity of transportation infrastructure. Final inspections may identify any shortcomings that need to be addressed before the work is deemed satisfactory. This step is crucial for accountability and ensuring that the right of way can effectively serve its intended purpose without causing future issues.

In contrast, ignoring the site and allowing natural regrowth could lead to problems such as overgrowth or obstruction of visibility for drivers. Publicly announcing the completion of work may be a good communication strategy but does not fulfill the requirement for official approval. Lastly, initiating additional landscaping projects might be beneficial, but it should not follow the completion of right of way work without first confirming that the original work meets the necessary standards established by MaineDOT.
