Update on revised estimated start dates from Maine Rivers for construction of the replacement Webber Pond fish ladder:

The boat landing and dock will continue to be open to the public during construction.

Thursday, July 24 – mobilization of equipment and materials to the dam/fishway area, including some of the boat landing parking spots closest to Sevenmile Brook. Additional parking spots will be provided closer to Webber Pond Rd.

Monday, July 28 – earliest date for closure of the bridge on Dam Rd., which is needed for safety reasons during construction. This closure means residents/occupants will have to use McQuarrie Rd., and safety improvements have been completed to facilitate this. The closure was approved by the Vassalboro Select Board.

The Dam Rd. bridge closure will not continue beyond Tuesday, September 30. Every effort will be made to re-open it sooner.
