Here is a close-up of the two bridges crossing the river, from the same link:

According to the Missing Persons Cases Network on FB, Anneliese's vehicle was located just off of Exit 9 of I-295, so the distance from Exit 9 to the middle of the bridge crossing the river is 2.3 miles:

When Heinig did not show up for Thanksgiving dinner with her relatives, her 16-year-old daughter reported her missing to Richmond police, Anne Heinig said.

Richmond Police Sgt. James Donnell confirmed a missing person’s report was filed Thursday.

Anne Heinig said the SUV was equipped with a numerical keypad to unlock the driver’s door, so Anneliese could easily get back into the car without keys.

Heinig lives with her 16-year-old daughter. Her 5-year-old son lives close to Heinig’s apartment with his father, Anne Heinig said. Although Anneliese split from her son’s father, they still share parenting responsibilities on a day-to-day basis.

Heinig has no history of self-harming behaviors, Anne Heinig said, and had made plans to take her daughter to a spa this past weekend as a 16th birthday present.

Police expanding search for missing Richmond woman

Steve McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine State Police, said troopers usually try to contact the owner of a vehicle that appears abandoned on the highway. But he did not specify whether phone numbers are a standard part of the Bureau of Motor Vehicle information that police can access from the computer terminals in their cruisers.

“Phone numbers are readily accessible,” McCausland said.

He confirmed that Maine State Police ordered the tow, but he did not know whether the trooper who called in the tow tried to contact the vehicle’s owners.

Chris Heinig, Heinig’s father, said he intends to ask state police why he was not called when the vehicle was found.

“We would have known within hours (that Anneliese was missing) and not (two) days later,” he said.

On Monday, Dick Stewart, of Stewart’s Towing, confirmed he’d received a call from the state police to pick up the vehicle near mile marker 9 on I-295, but troopers were not present when he arrived.

That would be a good guess, but given the angle of the camera, I doubt it could see anything as far south as where they're searching (my guess was around 3/4 of a mile between the camera and the bridge/their search area). The camera's visibility right now is obviously obscured by snow, but I don't think it could see the ...
