Bath State Ferry and Carlton Bridge History Highlight
A 1919 legislative move shifted Bath area transport to state control with the Bath State Ferry running for eight years after a new ferryboat. Traffic rose from 240 in 1921 to 480 in 1926, prompting river crossing improvements and a 1927 Carlton bridge opening. Toll policies, Maine Central payments, and later expansions shaped the Kennebec river crossing program through 1957 and beyond.
