Ticonic Bridge Notice

A message from MaineDOT

Starting on Tuesday May 26th, 2026, at 12AM, through June 29th, 2026, at 6 AM, the project will be closing the Ticonic bridge to all traffic for construction activities requiring access to the entire bridge. During this time, pedestrians will NOT be allowed to transit the bridge. Both pedestrians and vehicles will be required to follow the posted detour routes. The detour routes can be found in the traffic control drawings on the MaineDOT website (Plans F-H). Message boards will be used to warn drivers of the closure.

On June 29th, 2026 at 6 a.m., the bridge will re-open to both eastbound and westbound traffic. Daily single lane closures and nightly full closures may be required throughout the summer and fall to complete construction of the new bridge.
