The Office of Public Works is currently undertaking a maintenance programme on the River Maine. Since 2010, maintenance has been completed on the river from Castleisland Town down to the new Castleisland Bypass, and from one kilometre upstream of Currans Bridge down to Ballyfinnane Bridge.

In undertaking these works, the OPW is bound to observe environmental regulations which, inter alia, preclude the removal of vegetation between 1 March to 1 September each year. Maintenance of the section from the Castleisland Bypass down to Currans will be programmed for 2012.
