An update from the Department of Public Safety:

Northbound traffic on Interstate 95 continues to be backed up in Waterville as crews begin work to remove the tractor trailer that has blocked the northbound side.

Troopers say it appears the truck?s driver ? 54 year old Paul Casona of Epping, NH was distracted and the truck struck the guardrails on both sides of the road and then jack-knifed on the KMD overpass.

State police say a tractor trailer has overturned on Interstate 95 in Waterville.

The wreck is on the Kennedy Memorial Drive overpass and one lane is blocked. No injuries have been reported, but there is considerable debris in the road and traffic will be affected for the rest of the afternoon. The crash was reported at 10:19 a.m.

Troopers are now planning to detour all northbound traffic at the KMD exit while the wreck is cleared. Northbound motorists should expect significant delays through the afternoon. The wreck took place in the northbound lane on the overpass.

Rumford ? Beginning on Monday, May 9th, a $2 million bridge re-decking project will begin on the Upper Canal Bridge on Bridge Street in Rumford that will require a full closure and detour.

Bangor ? The Maine Department of Transportation announced this morning that this weekend?s Webster Avenue Bridge replacement would be completed today (Monday, 5/9) at 1 PM, and that Interstate 395 would return to full operation at that time.

In order to facilitate a quick and efficient swap of the entire overpass in a single extended weekend, construction crews had cordoned off the section of I-395 between Exits 1 and 2 last Friday evening, detouring traffic on two separate routes.

A two-car crash on Route 1 in Wiscasset northbound has slowed traffic in the area.

Police are detouring northbound motorists to Mountain Road then back to Route 1.

Officials do not have an estimated time on the opening of that section of Route 1.
