BRUNSWICK/TOPSHAM — The Maine Department of Transportation will be performing a bridge inspection of the Frank J. Wood Bridge between Tuesday, April 25 and Thursday, April 27. This bridge carries Route 201 between Brunswick and Topsham.

“Because of the poor condition of the fracture critical Frank J. Wood Bridge, MaineDOT engineers inspect it every six months instead of the normal every 24 month frequency,” said MDOT, in a news release.

Construction of a new bridge will begin later this spring.

This inspection work will impact traffic. Drivers should expect impacts between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on all three days. Southbound traffic moving from Topsham to Brunswick will be able to cross the bridge. Northbound traffic from Brunswick to Topsham will be detoured to the Topsham Bypass and Route 196.
