State transportation officials have approved an application to build an 1,850-square-foot Dunkin’ with a drive-thru window at 247 Main St. in Fairfield.
Construction is expected to begin in late 2024 with completion and occupancy expected in fall 2025, according to a Dec. 3 report from Stephen Landry, state traffic engineer for the Maine Department of Transportation.
The Dunkin’ location was granted a conditional use permit in July following a proposal from JFJ Holdings, LLC. Maine DOT has now approved the company’s traffic movement permit application, allowing the ball to start rolling on construction.
In addition to coffee and the Dunkin’ menu, the development is estimated to bring an increase of 223 vehicle trips weekdays during the peak morning hour.
