What the agency says
The Coast Guard is temporarily revising the operating schedule that governs the Southport (SR27) Bridge at mile 0.7 across Townsend Gut between Boothbay Harbor and Southport, ME. This action is necessary to allow Maine Department of Transportation (ME DOT) to conduct rehabilitation of the bridge. During the effective period, the bridge will be unable to open to marine traffic due to an operational imbalance while the work is being conducted.
