Traffic was reopened along Route 1 in Wiscasset and Edgecomb June 28 following a three-vehicle accident on the Donald E. Davey Bridge that connects the two towns, according to a Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department officer.

Maine Department of Transportation was doing work on the bridge at the time; an MDOT truck was one of the vehicles involved in the accident, the officer said. The other two were a pickup truck and a sport utility vehicle. The accident backed up traffic to Sheepscot Road in Newcastle and Montsweag Road in Woolwich. Complicating the traffic situation in Wiscasset was the Windjammer Days parade in Boothbay Harbor, which drew thousands from outside the area, and the influx of workers from Bath Iron Works after 3:30 p.m, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Lt. Brendan Kane confirmed one person was taken by ambulance from the scene. He had no information about the person’s condition or where the person was taken.  The driver of the MDOT truck drove to a doctor’s office to be checked out, per MDOT policy after an accident. An MDOT worker said no fluids went into the Sheepscot River the bridge spans.

In addition to the Sheriff’s Office and MDOT, Edgecomb Fire and Rescue and Wiscasset Police responded to the accident, which the sheriff’s officer said was reported at 1:40 p.m.
