Watch: Simsbury PD Posts Flood Videos

SIMSBURY, CT — Local officials Monday morning said some roads closed due to widespread weekend flooding following Friday's deluge are now open, but others were still submerged.

Later in the day, however, Simsbury police notified the public that all flood impacts are cleared and all roads have reopened as normal.

Among one of the hardest-hit towns in the state, Simsbury late Friday and Saturday saw the Farmington River and its tributaries rise amid the multi-inch rainfall.

This resulted in road closures nearby throughout the weekend, with motorists in Simsbury scrambling to find alternate routes as they were regularly greeted with "road closed" signs.

Monday, however, the town said Nod Road and Riverside Road (south) had been reopened.

Morning commuters beginning the work week, though, were still trying to find alternate routes Monday morning in some areas.

Friday's rainstorm, which lasted into mid-day Saturday, had local leaders on the offensive trying to close roads before motorists were trapped by floodwaters.

"The Town of Simsbury has experienced a large amount of rain in a short period of time. The Farmington River has risen considerably and come out of its banks leading to road closures," wrote the town.

Other roads impacted by the flooding over the weekend were Route 315 and Terry's Plain Road.

With the week expected to be dry through the weekend, at least, the flooding was expected to recede.

That proved to be the case, with traffic patterns back to normal by Monday evening.

Residents are urged to check with the Town of Simsbury, Simsbury Police Department and Simsbury Department of Public Works social media accounts for the latest.

Over the weekend, the Simsbury Police Department posted videos showing the road closures and why they needed to be closed, as well as the extent of the flooding.
