Route 3 Construction Update from the MDOT Week Ending April 20

Construction on the Route 3 Corridor in Bar Harbor has begun, and here is the plan for the Week Ending April 20th. The goal is for everything to be completed by June 15

Traffic will be two-way until paving begins, approximately during the first few weeks of May. After that, the one-way detour will be up and running again, utilizing the Park Loop Road.

The contractor has already starting working on Eden Street in downtown Bar Harbor, updating crosswalks so they are ADA compliant. Next week things will be getting a little busier, and they will be working in the areas stated below:

Placing ADA compliant ramps at sidewalks/crossings at various locations along the project
Placing curbing on Dreamwood Hill towards the beginning of the project, as well as from the Bar Harbor Yacht Club to Duck Brook
Placing new guardrail from the Bluffs area to Duck Brook
Placing a new water service for the Connors School on Eagle Lake Road
Working on widening the shoulder area across from Sand Point Road

All scheduling is weather dependent and subject to change.
