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.

MaineDOT reopened the Frank J. Wood Bridge to traffic this morning. Route 26 in Newry is now open to one lane of traffic. Aerial video of that damage is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEWGvP5ZZMM.

Crews will continue to monitor roads and bridges throughout the weekend. The best source for information on road closures continues to be www.newengland511.org, which is continuously updated.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as our crews work to assess and repair damaged infrastructure. Please remember that Maine law now requires drivers to move over or slow down when approaching stopped vehicles on the side of the road.
