HARPSWELL - The Maine Department of Transportation will be making repairs to the Bailey Island Bridge on Route 24 in Harpswell between Orrs Island and Bailey Island. Most of the work involves resetting granite stones that shifted during coastal storms in January. Other work includes drainage repairs and debris removal. Route 24 will be reduced to a single lane of traffic at times. Drivers may encounter full road closures that last no longer than 15 minutes. The sidewalk on the bridge may be closed to pedestrians at times during construction. MaineDOT is allowing the contractor the option of working at night or on Sundays during daylight hours. Most of the repair work will happen during low tides on the sides of the bridge. Construction begins the week of April 15th and will be finished in late May. The contractor on this project is New England Infrastructure of Hudson, Massachusetts. The contract amount is $1.5 million.
