AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Transportation will complete its roadside brush control program by early September, DOT officials said recently.

Clyde Walton, DOT landscape architect, said the one-time spray is coordinated with mowing to provide safe highways.

The dilute spray mix consists of one part chemical to 200 parts water, Walton said, and then is applied selectively to avoid hazards. “No spray” agreements may be made by communities and individuals with the DOT, Walton said.
