The Interstate 95 bridge between Maine and New Hampshire has reopened after a police shooting incident on Thursday morning. The bridge, which carries a heavy load of traffic daily, was closed following a series of events that involved a man allegedly killing a woman in Troy, New Hampshire before driving to the bridge. The man was shot and killed by police during the confrontation, with an 8-year-old child found dead in his vehicle. The incident remains under investigation by the Maine attorney general’s office. Northbound traffic was completely blocked at the time, while southbound traffic was diverted at exit 2. The closure caused significant delays for commuters using the bridge, which connects Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to Kittery, Maine. The Maine State Police confirmed the reopening of the bridge to both north- and southbound traffic after 9:30 a.m. following the completion of initial investigations. The New Hampshire attorney general’s office is also involved in the ongoing investigation. The identities of those involved in the incident have not been released. Further updates on the situation are awaited as authorities continue to piece together the events that led to the closure of the bridge.
