Volunteers recover, restore Saco bridge washed away by December storm

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 7, 2023

An army of Saco city workers, residents, trail advocates, and college hockey players descended on the local Atlantic Way trail early Saturday morning. The crowd of roughly 45 people was on a mission to restore a bridge that washed away during a powerful storm in late December that brought high floods to the area. Fortunately, the bridge was not damaged. John Riordan, a frequent trail user who lives in a neighborhood close to the trail, designed and built the 1,500-pound bridge in 2017.
