PORTLAND — The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) will be performing maintenance work on the Casco Bay Bridge at mile 1.5 over the Fore River (Casco Bay) between Portland and South Portland on April 29 and May 19 in order to complete rehabilitation of the bridge's span lock power feeds.
The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the Casco Bay Bridge, according to MaineDOT, in a news release.

"Vessels that can safely pass beneath the bridge while it is in the closed position may do so during these times," said MaineDOT.
