BAR HARBOR — No matter how drivers try to get into or out of town next week they should expect delays, as crews will be putting down a new layer of maintenance pavement on Route 3 and on the Eagle Lake Road.
According to Dennis Lovely of the Maine Department of Transportation, crews plan to repave a 4-mile section of the Eagle Lake Road (Route 233), from approximately Norway Drive east to Bar Harbor, on Tuesday, May 31.
Repaving of Route 3 between the Pirates Cove area in Hulls Cove to West Street is slated for Wednesday and Thursday, June 1 and 2.
According to MDOT officials, one lane will be paved at a time and motorists should expect delays of up to 5 minutes.
“Of course those plans are all dependent on the weather,” Mr. Lovely said.
On Thursday, May 26, crews were repaving a section of Route 198 just north of Northeast Harbor.
No paving is slated for anywhere in the MDI vicinity for the Friday before Memorial Day, officials said.
