Basin Sheepscot
Caption There are 742 miles of roads in the Sheepscot River watershed which has an area of about 350 square miles. Public roads are maintained by the Maine Department of Transportation or the municipalities, and private roads are maintained by the individuals or road associations and they all use sand to improve traction in the winter months. This bridge is located on the Choate Road in Windsor. This photo illustrates the build up of winter sand along the guard rails which is a common issue with bridges in the watershed. Photo by M. Laser April 2001.

Basin Sheepscot
Caption This photo is looking through the steel grate deck of the Howe Road Bridge. The sand is visible on the snow and ice under the bridge. The exact amount of sediment that enters into the river through these roads is unknown but is a source of sediment to the river. The loading of winter sand may alter the sediment budget for the river, which affects the channel morphology. Photo by M. Laser March 2002.
