SCARBOROUGH, Maine — The Scarborough BMV branch will be closed Friday, Feb. 24 due to continued cleanup work after water damage from the bitter cold snap that happened a couple of weeks ago.
In a news release Friday morning, Emily Cook, director of communications for the Office of the Secretary of State, revealed that a roof drain above the ceiling of the office broke, sending water cascading into the interior of the branch while staff acted quickly to save the office electronics.
According to Cook, CDL road/skill tests currently scheduled at the Scarborough DOT lot on Friday will continue uninterrupted while staff will work at other branches to make up for the increase in customer traffic due to the closing.
All other Maine BMV branches are open for walk-in services and pre-scheduled appointments.

The Scarborough branch was previously closed Feb. 8 through Feb. 15, also due to repairs and cleanup.
“The health and safety of our customers and staff are of course our priority,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said in reference to the first closure. “Other than staff working to get the Scarborough branch ready to serve customers again, our branch staff have been temporarily reassigned to other local branches, where they stand ready to serve the public.”
The Lewiston DHHS office also closed temporarily due to similar issues from the cold temperatures. That building has since reopened.
Other nearby BMV branches (Portland, Springvale, Kennebunkport, Topsham) remain open to walk-in service. The addresses of BMV’s branch locations are listed here.
