One of the major projects scheduled to start in this timeframe is the $40.5 million replacement of the Ticonic Bridge that connects Waterville and Winslow over the Kennebec River. It consists of a former trolley line dating to 1909, roadway built in 1936, and another roadway constructed in 1970. The Ticonic Bridge Replacement Project will replace the current bridge, consisting of the three-part structure, which has deteriorated to the point that the end of its useful life is near. Further attempts to repair or rehabilitate it will not restore the full integrity of the bridge to meet today's safety needs, load requirements, or geometric standards for regional rural residents. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Plans call to replace the eight-mile bridge.
