Transport Carrying Big Building Meets Match On Penobscot Narrows Bridge
As we mentioned in an earlier article, folks in Bar Harbor were readying for a large delivery today, one that spanned more than 160 feet long. A new MRI unit, set to make its home at the MDI Hospital, was on its way from Kittery to Bar Harbor.
Authorities in Bar Harbor had cleared as much of a path as they could through lower Main Street, in the middle of tourist season. They had even relocated some of the RV's in a nearby parking lot to a neighboring baseball field, in anticipation of the big building's arrival.
Many thought the escort, which Bar Harbor Police Captain David Kerns says has been traveling to Maine since before the 4th of July, would have likely had a tricky time negotiating the narrow streets of MDI.
But the challenge ended up coming by way of Maine's tallest bridge; The Penobscot Narrows. That's where the big building met its match.
