Simsbury Roads Finally Open After Monday's Storm: Police: UPDATE

SIMSBURY, CT — Multiple Simsbury roads were still closed following the epic rainstorm earlier this week, according to local police Thursday morning.

But by 11:30 a.m., police said all roads had been reopened.

The Simsbury Police Department had reported the following roads remain closed due to flooding associated with rising floodwater of the Farmington River and/or area waterways:

• Route 315 from Quarry Road to the bridge east of St. John’s Place.

• Riverside Road (north) Drake Hill Road to Terry’s Plain Road.

Terry’s Plain Road from Route 315 to Goodrich Road was closed earlier this morning, but the Simsbury PD later announced it has, since, reopened.

The storm Sunday into Monday dumped several inches of rain in Connecticut, resulting in elevated water levels along major rivers and streams.

Those rising waters in Simsbury have pushed water over the roads, which police warn should not be traversed by vehicles.
