Final repairs were completed Thursday to a small section of the Kennebec River Rail Trail that had washed out last year. The Rail Trail, popular with walkers and bicyclists, connects Augusta to Gardiner on a path that runs along a rail line and the western shore of the Kennebec River. Philip Garwood, chairman of the Kennebec River Rail Trail board of supervisors, said figuring out how to solve the problem took a while and involved several agencies. Garwood said some material blocked a drainage culvert, causing water to flow across the tracks.
