HANCOCK COUNTY - The Maine Department of Transportation is conducting inspection work on the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge, which carries Route 15 over Eggemoggin Reach between Deer Isle and Sedgwick. This work will impact traffic on the bridge.

Inspection work is scheduled to begin Monday, April 28th and continue through May 16th. During these periods, drivers may encounter single lane closures between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays. No inspection work will occur on Sundays.

Vehicles wider than 10 feet that require access to the causeway during the inspection window should provide at least 24 hours' notice to crews so accommodation can be made. Crews on-site can be reached directly in the event a wide load vehicle requires passage. This may cause additional delays to through traffic. From April 28th through May 3rd the number to call to reach field crews is (603)-864-9268. The number to call after May 5th is (802)-376-6230. If crews are unable to answer, or busy with another caller, the project manager can be also be reached at (617)-733-5097.

The consultant working on this project is TranSystems of Boston. The contract amount is approximately $395,000.
