On August 13th, a section of the new Llewellyn Estes Bridge over the Stillwater River in Old Town partially collapsed while crews were pouring concrete for the bridge deck, injuring several construction workers.

The bridge was still under construction and not open to traffic, and the Maine Department of Transportation is working with federal experts to determine what caused the span to fail.
