Whittier Street Bridge work continues

posted on: 6/27/2017

The Whittier Street bridge over the Cocheco River remains closed to all traffic. The bridge is expected to open in December.

Crews continue to pour concrete for the bridge abutments. This work is expected to continue through the third week in July. Steel is expected to be set in place in August, and bridge deck panels are expected to be delivered in September.

During bridge reconstruction, through traffic on Whittier Street remains detoured to alternate routes and pedestrian access over the bridge will be discontinued. Access to Whittier Street from Washington Street will remain open to local traffic only up to Regent Drive. Access to Whittier Street from Sixth Street will remain open to local traffic only up to Whittier Falls Way while pedestrian access to the Dover Community Trail and Dover Cassily Community Garden will be available for the duration of construction.

Plans may be viewed at the Public Works office at 271 Mast Road or online here.
