AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Transportation continues to make progress on repairing the infrastructure damaged by Monday's storm.
As of 1:00 p.m. on Friday, there were 21 road closures and ten bridge closures. Eleven of the road closures are due to trees and power lines still being in the roadway. Some infrastructure continues to be impacted by high water. Most of the roads and bridges that remain closed are in Franklin and Oxford Counties.
FARMINGTON FALLS - The Maine Department of Transportation is removing the temporary detour bridge that was being using during the construction of the new Farmington Falls Bridge, which carries Route 41 over the Sandy River between Chesterville and Farmington. The temporary bridge has been closed to traffic and pedestrians due to damage it sustained during the December 18th storm. MaineDOT has made the decision to remove the temporary bridge rather than repair it. The contractor will proceed with completing the new bridge as quickly as possible.
