Press Herald- Work on the Piscataqua River Bridge, which connects Kittery and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is likely to cost $52.6 million, almost $17 million over initial estimates. The bridge on Interstate 95 is Maine’s principal artery for commuters, freight and tourists. About 74,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day, and on busy summer weekends daily traffic balloons to at least 130,000 cars and trucks.
Unprecedented measures to keep that traffic moving while construction crews resurface the nearly mile-long, six-lane bridge means the project will cost more than anyone expected. Related Major construction planned for I-95 in southern Maine likely to cause headaches for years
Resurfacing the 46-year-old bridge will require fixing issues with its concrete deck, installing a new waterproof membrane and repaving. Last year, the Maine Department of Transportation estimated the project would cost $36 million and take about three years.
