Transportation officials hope to reduce rush hour traffic in Gorham and Scarborough by building a connector.
The proposed six-mile highway would be four lanes wide and cost $220 million, according to CBS 13 News.

Part of the golf course at Gorham Country Club and a hayfield at Smiling Hill Farm could be cut through as part of construction.
