As part of the Bucknam Road Bridge Replacement Project, MaineDOT has notified the Town that there will be full closures of Bucknam Road and rolling closures of I-295 Southbound and Northbound between 10:00pm and 5:00am, Monday-Thursday, October 9-12. The closures will accommodate the removal of the remaining structural steel beams from the old bridge.

Bucknam Road will be closed completely from 10:00pm until 5:00am between the I-295 NB & SB Ramp intersections. Detour routes will be marked.

There will be up to 4 closures of I-295 Southbound and 4 closures of I-295 Northbound at/near exit 10. The first closure of I-295 SB will occur at 10:00pm Monday night and will last up to 25 minutes. Once that closure is complete, traffic will be allowed to completely clear out before another closure takes place. The I-295 closures will be facilitated by the Maine State Police.
