Lane closures are coming to Broadway on Monday.
The right southbound lane heading into downtown will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., while the right northbound lane will be closed from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to the city of Bangor.
Those closures will allow crews to safely continue their work on the Interstate 95 overpass bridge. A southbound lane for I-95 also will be closed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday.
It’s the latest step toward the eventual replacement of the aging bridge carrying I-95 traffic over Broadway. The 152-foot steel girder bridge, built in 1960, is crossed about 50,000 times daily and is in “poor condition,” transportation officials have told the Bangor Daily News. The Maine Department of Transportation expects to complete that work by late next year.
In recent years other I-95 bridges in Bangor have been replaced, including the Ohio Street bridge in 2020 and the Union Street bridge in 2016.
