Abstract
In this paper, locally $3$-arc-transitive regular covers of complete bipartite graphs are studied, and results are obtained that apply to arbitrary covering transformation groups. In particular, methods are obtained for classifying the locally $3$-arc-transitive graphs with a prescribed covering transformation group, and these results are applied to classify the locally $3$-arc-transitive regular covers of complete bipartite graphs with covering transformation group isomorphic to a cyclic group or an elementary abelian group of order $p^2$.
