On Friday, April 22, the Maine Department of Transportation began an Accelerated Bridge Construction to replace the 60-year old Veranda Street Bridge in Portland.
For the process, MDOT committed to completion in a mere 64 hours — in other words, days instead of years — and managed to finish four hours ahead of schedule.
This Chasing Maine episode documents the innovative $21 million project from start to finish, using time-lapse and drone videography.
