New Maine-Canada Bridge Project to Start Construction Soon
MADAWASKA, Maine (AP) — The state of Maine has awarded the construction contract for a new bridge that will connect the northern part of the state to New Brunswick.
The project will replace the century-old Edmundston–Madawaska Bridge.
The Maine Department of Transportation said Thursday the current bridge is nearing the end of its useful life.
The bridge has also been subject to a five-ton weight limit since 2017, and that has created a significant detour for drivers.
Maine DOT said the total project is expected to cost $97.5 million.
