The lawsuit involves several organizations, including the Historic Bridge Foundation, Friends of the Frank J. Wood Bridge, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, as plaintiffs, and Elaine Chao, Nicole R. Nasen, Todd Jorgensen, and Bruce Van Note as defendants. The plaintiffs are seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the defendants' decision to reject rehabilitating the historic Frank J. Wood Bridge and instead constructing a new two-lane bridge over the Androscoggin River between the Towns of Brunswick and Topsham, Maine. The plaintiffs argue that the decision was based on inaccurate and inconsistent data regarding the relative costs of the bridge rehabilitation versus building a new replacement bridge, which violates Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The plaintiffs aim to prevent the removal and destruction of the historic Frank J. Wood Bridge and are also seeking attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements, as well as any other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
