Bath Bridge To Be Toll Free Sooner Than Planned
The Bath to Woolwich bridge is forecast to be toll free in about ten years, six to seven years earlier than first estimated. State Comptroller William A. Runnells says 1944 may mark the abandonment of tolls, with Bucksport’s new bridge unlikely to be toll free before 1948. Traffic growth since 1927 has surpassed projections, though last year revenue dipped as Atlantic Highway work diverted motorists.
