Shoreline Drive (County Road 15) in Orono has come to an end. We updated and made improvements to the bridge, connecting roadway and the channel below. You can now enjoy a safer and better traveling experience.

Improvements on the Tanager Bridge and Shoreline Drive include:

  • A realigned roadway with improved sightlines
  • A new bridge deck for a smoother ride
  • Improved channel clearance by more than a foot
  • New riprap sloping to provide erosion protection to the channel shoreline
