Funding sought for ME-N.H. bridge
By The Mainebiz News Staff
Maine and New Hampshire yesterday applied for $70 million in federal stimulus funding to fix up a bridge that spans the Piscataquis River between Kittery and Portsmouth, according to the Foster's Daily Democrat.
The joint funding request seeks funds to rehabilitate the 86-year-old Memorial Bridge, which recently had its weight limit dropped from 20 tons to 10 tons because of its deteriorating status, the paper reported.
The funds are sought from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Discretionary Grants program.
