JACKMAN, Maine (WABI) - The Jackman road that was closed after a washout is back open.
The Jackman-Moose River Fire Department said that Maine D-O-T has confirmed Route 15 is now open.
Part of the road was closed after heavy rainfall caused a culvert to fail.
It’s forced a lengthy 143 mile detour for drivers who use state roads.
Maine D-O-T says nearly 800 vehicles use this section road in Jackman on an average day.
