Bridge Closure in Camden

CAMDEN - On April 18th, the Maine Department of Transportation will be closing the Rawson Avenue Bridge in the Town of Camden. The bridge was constructed in 1935 and crosses the Megunticook River. A team of bridge engineers evaluated the structure in March and determined that its advanced deterioration makes fixing it impractical. The bridge will be closed to all pedestrian and vehicle traffic until the structure is removed. Traffic can bypass the bridge by taking Ames Terrace to Route 105. The detour is less than a quarter of a mile.

New Travel Signs Will Help Motorists Save Time

As the peak summer travel season approaches, the Maine Department of Transportation and Maine Turnpike Authority are working to help members of the traveling public make good decisions based on real-time data.

We are installing new travel signs along I-95 and I-295. These signs will share traffic information with motorists based on data that are collected anonymously from various mobile devices along the two interstates. This initiative is part of a national trend to use intelligent transportation systems to improve safety and mobility.
