The demolition of the Memorial Bridge begins Tuesday. The 90-year-old lift bridge, which crosses the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth and Kittery Maine, has long been in a state of disrepair.
The bridge closed permanently to vehicle traffic in July of last year.
Weather and barge setup permitting, the removal and “float out” of the lift span of the Memorial Bridge is expected to begin Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m.
“A barge is going to be floated in placed underneath the lift span section,” New Hampshire Department of Transportation spokesman Bill Boynton explained.
He said the span will be lifted off the plates that it sits on and cables will be cut.

They are described as an aspiring politician; a young mother, teacher and magazine editor; an event manager working in the fashion industry; and a lawyer and devout Muslim.
