Construction begins on Acadia transit and welcome hub in Trenton

MAINE PUBLIC • May 22, 2023

Construction has begun on the site of the much-anticipated welcome center and transit hub for Acadia National Park, the final phase of a 20-year vision to expand bus service around Mount Desert Island. The Acadia Gateway Center will sit near the park-and-ride in Trenton on Route 3 between Ellsworth and Mount Desert Island. The site was strategically chosen, and approved by Trenton voters, to stem the flow of traffic coming to and from the park.
