## Resource

Perkins Cove Bridge in Ogunquit, Maine, is stuck up and out of commission due to mechanical issues, forcing locals and tourists to rely on taxis or shuttles—no walking allowed. Though a major inconvenience, especially with summer in full swing, the town already had nearly $3 million earmarked to replace it, with final designs complete. This breakdown might just be the final chapter for the old bridge, as its replacement is already in the works.
