MaineDOT: $20M Portland I-295 bridge project finished

The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) announced on Tuesday that the $20.8 million Veranda Street Bridge project is substantially complete. Conventional bridge construction techniques would have involved building a temporary bridge and would have likely created daily traffic congestion on I-295 for up to four years. MaineDOT says the ABC method reduced significant traffic impacts to a period of 60 hours.
