Casco Bay
In 1993, construction began on Casco Bay Bridge, a replacement for the Million Dollar Bridge. The Casco Bay Bridge is a higher bascule bridge, with an alignment just east of the Million Dollar Bridge. During construction of the new bridge, the Million Dollar Bridge was hit by the Liberian Tankship "Julie N." on September 27, 1996, and emergency repairs were made. The Casco Bay Bridge opened in 1997.
