PORTLAND, Maine – Beginning on Monday, June 2, 2014 the Center Road Bridge in Gray will be closed for repairs. The closure is expected to last for approximately three weeks. The work consists of adding a new bridge wearing surface, deck repairs and concrete repairs to the substructure.

Message boards will be in place to inform approaching travelers of closures, and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) broadcasts on 1610 AM will also be used to inform drivers. The Maine Turnpike Authority appreciates motorists’ patience and understanding during this construction.
