Monday Storm Brought Road Closures, Downed Trees To Cape Cod

CAPE COD, MA — It was a busy Monday for officials across Cape Cod, as strong winds and heavy rains caused multiple problems.

In Bourne, police shared that winds have knocked trees into power lines, bringing them to the ground and leaving some roads impassable.

Herring Pond Road in Bourne was cleared of a tree on Monday morning, but other areas of town aren't so lucky.

Bournedale Road is closed as of 7:29 a.m. as a tree is on utility lines in the area. As of 7:38 a.m., primary lines are down in the area of Marjorie Avenue, leaving the road impassable.

And just about 10 minutes later, the Bourne Bridge was backed up after officers were out with a disabled vehicle obstructing traffic. The bridge has since reopened.

In Falmouth, local police issued a warning to drivers and a few roads were problematic.

"We have several sections of roadway that are flooded. If a puddle looks like it is difficult to drive through, please do not attempt to do so. If your vehicle becomes disabled in a puddle, tow truck companies will not assist you until the waters subsides," police said around 2 p.m. on Monday.

There were multiple issues in Provincetown as a fire on the 670 block of Commercial Street caused a road closure as mutual aid was needed.

Police were also at the scene for a pole fire at the Sandcastle Hotel, 929 Commercial St.
