COLUMBIA FALLS – As of this morning, drivers in the Columbia Falls and Jonesboro U.S. Route 1 area should expect delays.

“We need to replace a failing culvert that is buried deep beneath the pavement,” said project manager Janis Piper of the Maine Department of Transportation’s Bangor office. The U.S. Route 1 section of road will be closed today and tomorrow, then limited to one-way traffic for the next two weeks.
