The Ticonic Bridge will be closed to all traffic from March 9 to March 16.

All travelers must follow the posted detour routes: vehicle traffic will be detoured south via the Carter Memorial Bridge, and pedestrian traffic will be detoured north via the Two Cent Bridge.

On March 16, eastbound traffic will reopen at 6 AM, while westbound traffic will remain closed. Westbound vehicles should continue to use the Carter Memorial Bridge detour until further notice.

We appreciate your patience as we work to complete this project this year.

Huge thank you to the City of Waterville Public Works team for working through the night to keep our roads and parking lots safe and passable. We see the hard work and appreciate you. Stay safe out there. 💜

Let’s be honest, even firefighters need heroes.

Today, the props go to City of Waterville, Maine Public Works Department. Many of whom have been working through the night to make sure the city’s roadways and parking lots are passable and usable. As the snow continues to fly, they have more work ahead of them.

We see the hard work and we appreciate them!

THANK YOU!
