Stalled Memorial Bridge Repairs Frustrate Portsmouth Residents
By David Darman on Friday, May 1, 2009.Memorial Bridge connecting Portsmouth with Kittery, Maine needs to be repaired or replaced.

Earlier plans to rebuild the bridge halted after Maine officials balked when the winning bid came in at 15 million dollars more than budgeted.
The two states have since commissioned a study to see what might be done about the Memorial, and the nearly 70 year old Sara Mildred Long Bridge right nearby. But Portsmouth residents are getting frustrated.
