There was a very interesting article in yesterday's Maine Sunday Telegram about Cianbro chairman (and possible candidate for the Blaine House) Peter Vigue's efforts to construct a privately-funded 'East-West' highway across Maine (or as writer Matt Wickenheiser so elegantly put it, an asphalt belt that would span Maine's girth from Calais to Coburn Gore).
I understand this issue's been around for awhile, but if it does indeed start gaining traction, the privateers should strongly consider an idea AsMaineGoes.com poster MacPhyl threw out a couple weeks ago: "If its (sic) a private road then the owner should build it to Autobahn spec and forget about speed limits. Speed up commerce and it would be a great a tourist draw."
Food for thought, I guess.
