Good Morning Early Birds,
From Police Chief Robbie Blish only moments ago.
1. WATER: Water is out in the Village and beyond. When will it be back on? Here’s the deal: Assessment. That means figuring out where the water main broke. Water people (I don’t know what we call them) have to find out where the water went bust, so to speak, before they can even attempt to fix it. So. We are without water for awhile.
2. ROADS:
a. Route 4 East to West Lebanon — YES A-Okay. However, if you’re running to West Lebanon for STUFF (and WATER!) be aware that some of the “Miracle Mile” (aka “Valley of the Damned) stores were flooded also by the Connecticut River.
b. Route 12 to Woodstock from Barnard — Very, very iffy. Touch and Go. Not recommended. State Police shake their head NO but can be done. Carefully.
c. North Road to Bethel Bridge — NO Bridge Out
d.Route 4 West to Bridgewater, Killington and Rutland. NO. Route 4 washed out all along and in Mendon, too. In fact right now police in Woodstock are turning people around as they head West on Route 4
e. Route 106. No official reports yet.
3. Village. Flooding r has gone down everywhere. You can get around.
That’s it for now. It a beautiful clear sunny day for Woodstock Early Bird’s mop-up operations. And there are many sump pumps getting to work right now.
NOTE: Woodstock Early Bird’s cell phone/camera is soaked and not functioning so transmissions may be limited. IPAD2 also couldn’t take the traffic use.
