context_page_description: The Sagadahoc Bridge is a four-lane concrete segmental box girder bridge between the City of Bath and the town of Woolwich, Maine, carrying U.S. Route 1 over the Kennebec River. It was completed in 2000 to replace the two-lane road portion of the adjoining 1927 Carlton Bridge, which remains in use as a rail bridge. It is 2,972-foot-long and features the longest precast concrete segmental span in North America at 420 feet. It is also notable for being the first design/build project undertaken by the Maine Department of Transportation. The bridge cost $46.6 million, and is the last downstream road crossing of the Kennebec.
context_section_description: The bridge carries four lanes of U.S. Route 1 (US 1) over the Kennebec River with approximately 75 feet (23 m) of clearance at high tide. SR 127 partially travels underneath the bridge on the Woolwich side to interchange with US 1. The bridge also carries a 6-foot-wide (1.8 m) bicycle/breakdown lane and a 6-foot-wide (1.8 m) barrier-protected sidewalk, with a total deck width of 69 feet (21 m).
