OXFORD COUNTY - The Maine Department of Transportation will be reducing traffic to a single lane on the Red Bridge, which carries Route 2 over the Swift River between Mexico and Rumford, on Wednesday, December 18th and Thursday, December 19th between 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. This is required so crews can safely unload and set up steel. During this time, a single, alternating lane of traffic will be maintained. Traffic will be closed for up to five minutes at a time so steel can be safely unloaded.

On-site construction for this bridge replacement project began in September 2023. All work is expected to be finished in November 2025. The contractor on this project is CPM Constructors of Freeport. The contract amount is approximately $8.5 million.
