History of the Ticonic Bridge
The 113-year-old Ticonic Bridge is scheduled to be replaced as part of a $52.8 million construction project, $25 million of which will be provided as a grant by the Federal Highway Administration. It will be undertaken to address significant deterioration of the structure and will provide a new and modern structure that will serve the community for the next 100 years.
Freeport Bridge Project
MaineDOT will be conducting work on I-295 exits 20 and 22 in Freeport. This work includes a complete reconstruction of the Desert Road and Mallet Drive bridges over 1-295. The traveling public should take caution when utilizing these on and off ramps and drive safely and slowly through construction zones.
