Bridge to be Built of Wood Between Southport and Boothbay Harbor
The new bridge linking Southport and Boothbay Harbor will be wood instead of steel due to rising material costs. Maine Legislature approved 7500 dollars toward construction with a 10000 dollar local match, fulfilled by the town, and plans proceed in cooperation with the State Highway Commission. Work begins after the old draw is removed and is not expected to finish before the new year.
