[Updated 4:30 p.m.] Road Closures and Power Outages in Simsbury

Road Closure Update

As of Wednesday afternoon, Nod Road is open. Nod Road had minor damage that needed to be repaired and trees that needed to be cleared after the water receded, said the town's Public Works Director Tom Roy.

Route 315 is still closed. A section of Terry’s Plain Road is still closed, as is Riverside Road north. The south end of Riverside Road is open.

Roy said he expects all of the closed roads to be open tomorrow at some point, but not necessarily for the morning commuters.

Power Outage Update

As of 4 p.m. on Wednesday, August 31, there were 76 CL&P customers in Simsbury without power, or less than 1 percent.

CL&P has informed town and state officials that for many residents there still is no estimate as to when power will be restored. CL&P has said it will try to provide estimates by the end of the day Wednesday, August 31.

Attached is a list of streets experiencing power outages as of 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30 within Simsbury. The Town of Simsbury is asking residents to reach out to their neighbors andor identify any other locations that may not be on this listing. If you know of someone without power and street address is not identified below, contact the First Selectman Mary Glassman's office at 860-658-3230.

Those without power may be in need of D batteries and flashlights, among other issues. The town's Social Services Department, located in Eno Memorial Hall, is accepting donations of batteries and flashlights.

"Residents who need assistance during this difficult time are urged to contact the town at 860-658-3100 so we can make arrangements for food, showers and lodging if necessary,” said Glassman on Tuesday. “If you know somebody who might need help and may not get this message, please pass along this information. This is a time for all of us to pull together.”

At the highest point, more than 60 percent of CL&P customers in Simsbury were without power. While that number has dropped to 2 percent, there is no clear picture as to when these customers can expect power to be restored. The town is prepared to assist residents as needed and, if a significant number of people need shelter, will open a shelter, said Glassman.
