Construction on the Donald V. Carter Memorial Bridge has been delayed because the Department of Transportation couldn’t acquire the necessary materials, Winslow town officials said Wednesday.
Construction on the bridge, which connects Waterville and Winslow, is now expected to start in late July.
During phase one of the project the bridge will stay open to two-way traffic with narrow lanes. Phase two will close eastbound traffic, leaving the bridge open only to westbound traffic from Winslow into Waterville.
Gordon Contracting will replace the bridge’s wearing surface with a new membrane and new pavement and replace aging expansion joints on both ends of the bridge, Winslow Town Manager Marc Amaral said.
The project is the latest in a series of DOT bridge updates happening across the state
