WASHINGTON COUNTY, Maine (WABI) – A bridge in Washington County that is the only way in or out for two small townships has closed due to a washout.

Maine DOT says that a bridge on Rt 6 in Codyville Plantation is closed, and may not open again until the weekend, when it’s expected one lane will be able to open.

For the towns of Lambert Lake and Vanceboro, the only other way out of their towns is through the Canadian border, which had its hours reduced from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. earlier this year.

There is also a local woods road but it is not suitable for trucks or buses.
