New weight limits have been posted on bridges at both ends of the Somerville Road in Lincoln County. This leaves over 50 homes without full fire protection.
According to CBS 13, WGME, the bridge on the southern end is Jefferson’s responsibility, while the northern bridge in Somerville is the responsibility of Maine’s DOT.
Two bridges are in need of repairs and with a 20-ton weight limit, tankers are too heavy to cross.
Firefighting vehicles can cross, however no large tankers filled with water can pass.
