Working with the Bar Harbor community, MaineDOT began preparations for the reconstruction and improvement of Route 3 in 2011. Engaging with residents and business owners through a planning committee that included representatives of Acadia National Park, a vision statement for the project was developed: “To provide a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing transportation corridor that encourages multiple uses and maintains or enhances the historic standards representative of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.”
