Maine’s New Madawaska Bridge to Canada Opens
$97.5 Million Structure Replaces Century-Old Bridge
A new bridge and land port of entry between Maine and Canada has opened, the culmination of a $97.5 million project to build a larger structure to replace a 104-year-old span.
The Madawaska bridge linking to Edmundston, Canada, was constructed on a new alignment over the St. John River, about 1,400 feet upstream from the old location on the U.S. side. Because of this new alignment, the structure is almost twice as long as the old one.
