The car was visible from the surface because construction on a nearby fishway has led to a lower water level, police said Friday.
Divers from Maine State Police and Maine Marine Patrol worked with local firefighters and a towing company to remove the vehicle.
It was lifted out of the water and over the bridge’s guardrail about 8 p.m. Thursday.
