HAMPDEN, Maine (AP) A $45 million bridge reconstruction project in central Maine is nearing its midway point this coming week.
The Maine Department of Transportation said it will shift northbound traffic on Interstate 95 onto the third of eight new interstate bridges in Hampden on July 14. The newest of the bridges is called Center Bridge and it crosses the Souadabscook Stream.
The completion of the bridge means three of the four new northbound bridges are now open to traffic, Maine DOT said. The project involves rebuilding eight bridges and rehabilitating a ninth along a four-mile stretch of the interstate in Hampden, the agency said.
The entire project is slated for completion in November 2022.
