LEWISTON - The Maine Department of Transportation is working to repair part of the surface of the bridge that carries Lincoln Street over part of the Androscoggin River between Locust Street and South Avenue in Lewiston. Earlier this afternoon, a crew from the city noticed some buckling on the bridge surface. That crew closed the bridge to traffic and contacted MaineDOT. MaineDOT bridge experts responded to inspect the bridge. It appears that part of the bridge's concrete surface has separated from the concrete bridge deck. The bridge deck does not appear to be damaged. Bridge experts believe the recent fluctuation in temperature and rain caused the concrete delamination. MaineDOT crews will have the bridge repaired and opened to traffic tonight.
