MOUNT DESERT ISLANDER
BAR HARBOR Parade spectator-lined streets and crowds flocking to Acadia National Park weren’t just signs of tourists and locals celebrating the Fourth of July holiday they also symbolized life returning to a sense of normalcy since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to data from the Maine Department of Transportation (DOT), the counting station at the Thompson Island Bridge in Trenton saw a raw count of 158,642 vehicles from June 29 to July 5. That figure is up 38 percent from last year’s holiday, but down 4 percent from 2019, with the overcast weather Saturday and drizzly day on Sunday potentially playing a factor in vehicle travel.
