89 The Maine DOT's use of design-build on construction of the $25 million Portland Connector, which links the Outer Congress Street exit of Interstate 295 with West Commercial Street and Portland's working waterfront, enabled the project team to bring the roadway to completion nearly 2 years earlier than what would have been expected under traditional design-bid-build. Before road construction started, Shaw Bros.
