Maine Highway Commission and Bath Sagadahoc county officials considered building a fill at Winnegance to replace the current bridge.

Concrete over the spillway and ashlar walls would form the structure. cost estimated at 54 350 dollars with shares divided among the State Sagadahoc County Bath and Phippsburg City.
