It’s expected to cost more than $2.5 million to repair damage from an intense rainstorm in early June that washed out multiple paved roads in coastal Hancock and Washington counties as well as gravel paths in Acadia National Park. The storm dumped several inches of rain in coastal Maine in the early morning hours of June 9. More than 5 inches of rain fell in Bar Harbor. In Acadia National Park — where the storm damaged carriage paths and hiking trails on Sargent Mountain and in the Schoodic section of the park on the eastern side of Frenchman Bay, among other places — the total damage exceeds $1 million.
