MATTAMISCONTIS — The Mattamiscontis Bridge, which carries Route 116 over the Mattamiscontis Stream, will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, March 22 and 23, while Maine Department of Transportation crews repair damage caused by ice breakup.

DOT officials described the work as essential. Last year’s ice breakup damaged several wooden pilings, and only temporary repairs were made during the summer.

Parts of the concrete deck must be removed to work on the pilings.

Unless the weather is unusually severe during the project, the bridge will be closed only during the two days DOT officials have planned.
