The Maine Department of Transportation announced today that two bridges in Whitefield will be undergoing some much-needed rehab in coming months.

On the Albee Bridge, which crosses the Sheepscot River, workers restore the concrete foundation and install bridge drains, said spokesman Mike Eldridge. Due to the nature of the construction, wide loads will be restricted to no more than 12 feet in width, Elderidge said.

Coopers Mill Bridge, which also spans the Sheepscot, also will undergo a facelift. Eldridge said workers will restore the bridge’s concrete abutments and the main concrete support beam.

Both projects will start after Thanksgiving and are slated to last at least five months, given weather and water-level circumstances, Eldridge said. There also may be possible lane closures.
