OLD TOWN - The Maine Department of Transportation will be closing the Stillwater Avenue (Llewellyn Estes) Bridge in Old Town to all traffic from approximately 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 15th to approximately 4:00 a.m. on Friday, December 16th. This closure is necessary while the Old Town Water District secures a water pipe that is hanging underneath the bridge. There will be a detour in place during this closure. The length of the maximum detour is approximately five miles and involves driving through Orono via Bennoch Road (Route 16), Route 2, and College Avenue. More overnight closures may be required next week for the water district to take further steps to secure the pipe. MaineDOT would like to thank the members of the traveling public in advance for their patience and understanding during this important work.
