Orange tape marks where part of a roadside embankment along Duck Brook Road in Acadia National Park fell away In April 2012. Repeated underfunding of the park’s annual budget has resulted in an estimated $68.3 million backlog at Acadia in  deferred maintenance projects. The park has decided to permanently close the section of road where the collapse occurred to motor vehicles, in part to save money and in part to improve non-motorized access between downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia’s carriage road network.
