The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District received a permit application to conduct work in waters of the United States from the Maine Department of Transportation for proposed work in the Kennebec River in Waterville, Maine.

The proposed work involves placing temporary and permanent fill below the high-water mark of the Kennebec River in order to replace the existing Ticonic Bridge.

Two-lane temporary traffic flow eastbound is expected to be maintained during the project work.
