This is an MDOT project projected to commence in the spring of 2023 and continue through March of 2027. The project calls for a partial closure of the bridge for the duration of the project, allowing east-bound traffic only from Waterville to Winslow. West-bound traffic will be detoured south to the Carter Memorial Bridge and north to Benton. There are likely to be some periodic full closures as well. The project has been advertised and two bids were received. The project has not yet been awarded. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.
