CONWAY — The Saco Covered Bridge, which was damaged from a car crash in October, is expected to reopen to traffic Friday, the town engineer told selectmen Tuesday.

According to Conway Police Chief Chris Mattei, an eastbound 2010 Dodge Charger struck the side of the bridge at 2:44 p.m. on Oct. 22. The driver was a 21-year-old woman from Ossipee who was transported with non-life threatening injuries to MaineHealth Memorial Hospital. Mattei said there was a passenger who did not get transported.
