MaineDOT staff baffled by Barters Island Bridge problems

Barters Island Bridge remains closed until at least the end of year, according to MaineDOT. BILL PEARSON/Boothbay Register. Maine Department of Transportation still hasn't determined the circumstances causing the Barters Island Bridge's closure earlier this summer. On Oct. 7, the bridge had been closed for nearly six weeks. The Boothbay Register emailed three questions in an effort to better understand the bridge's challenges. Those questions were: Why hasn't the bridge's problem been isolated? When is MaineDOT going to hold a public meeting with residents explaining the problem? Why, after five years, is this new bridge having problems?

Ask the Expert: Phil Kaplan on Building Near the Water in Maine

Q. What’s generally the best approach to building close to the water in Maine?. Whatever you love to see on the coast when out on the water is what you should prioritize for your own project. Step the whole thing back. Leave some trees in the view. Retain the existing footprint with a deck or screened porch, or with a modest portion of your home, like a common living space. Working with a good, local designer is your best way to make sure you can still see, access, and protect the natural resource that led you to want to spend time there in the first place.
