Comment on Just-opened Sarah Mildred Long Bridge to close for a week

The recently opened Sarah Mildred Long Bridge, which connects Kittery and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, via Route 1, will be closed for one week to complete construction. The Maine Department of Transportation announced Friday that the span will be closed from April 30 to May 6 to allow finishing work on the bridge. The $165 million bridge has been a source of controversy between Maine DOT and Cianbro Corp., the bridge’s primary contractor.
