| Description |
Abandoned hulk in mid ground. Rte 1 drawbridge in background. Emergency closure (2009) On October 16, 2009, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and the Maine Department of Transportation announced the immediate closure of the bridge to all motor vehicle traffic for emergency repairs. The bridge was reopened on November 20, 2009, following completion of repair work, and was reposted at a three-ton weight limit. Emergency closure (2010) On December 9, 2010, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation announced an immediate closure of the bridge (effective 12:00 pm on the same day) to all motor vehicle traffic. This announcement came upon the findings of a regular bridge inspection, which led to observations of significant safety concerns. The bridge was reopened to vehicles under three tons on December 18, 2010, following emergency repairs. Plans for replacement continued to move forward. Final bridge closure (2011) On July 27, 2011, the Memorial Bridge was permanently closed. An inspection cited "too many problems in too many places." Portsmouth resident Eileen Foley, who at age 5 cut the ribbon to open the bridge at a 1923 ceremony, tied two ribbons for the closing ceremony. Foley served multiple terms as Portsmouth's mayor during the lifetime of the bridge. Demolition (2012) On January 3, 2012, the NHDOT announced that the bridge would be permanently closed to pedestrians and cyclists on January 9, 2012. The NHDOT will operate an hourly shuttle bus between Portsmouth and Kittery until the new bridge is complete. The center span of the bridge
