AUGUSTA — Travel on Memorial Bridge will be disrupted during coming weekends, according to the Maine Department of Transportation. One-lane traffic and detours are necessary beginning at 7 p.m. Friday and ending at 6 a.m. Monday.

Travel will be affected this weekend, next weekend and the weekend of Sept. 10 as workers resurface the bridge in an effort to prolong its use. A concrete surface reinforced with steel bars will replace the present bituminous surface as DOT officials decide the long-term future of the bridge.
