Listening to the radio today and heard about the start of the summer construction season, so I looked around and found this nice graphic showing what's coming, courtesy of the City of Ellsworth. OK, I did embellish it slightly, to highlight us in Belfast, but hey, I'm into marketing!

So when your guests ask "how to avoid the summer construction" recommend Route 3, via Belfast and the Maine Coast Welcome Center. They'll be glad you did.

For an ongoing update for the summer season, visit this City of Ellsworth link.

Mark Latti, of the MaineDOT will also be sending me their site, which I'll post as available.
