Happy Transportation Tuesday! MaineDOT recently announced that the new Frank J. Wood Bridge is officially open to traffic! The original bridge first opened in 1932 and served as an important connection between Brunswick and Topsham for generations. As traffic grew and the bridge aged, MaineDOT worked with local communities to reimagine this crossing for the future. The result is a bridge designed with today’s needs in mind, offering improved safety, accessibility, and durability, while also highlighting the beauty of the area. Some final finishing touches are still underway, and an official ribbon-cutting celebration is planned for 2026!
