As the region continues to deal with the aftermath of a powerful Nor’Easter, the Town of Greenwich has released an update on the storm.
Per the Office of the First Selectman:
Crews continue to work clearing trees and limbs that have closed dozens of Greenwich roads in the aftermath of the March 2 Nor’easter.
Crews of Town employees and private contractors will continue the cleanup efforts through the weekend. Many roads remain blocked by downed trees, poles and utility wires. Any downed wire should be considered a live wire and avoided.
Many roads remain closed and motorists are advised to avoid those areas and to expect detours. “Until all roads are open, we ask residents to travel only if necessary,” said First Selectman Peter J. Tesei. “It is not prudent to be out sightseeing to check out the damage around Town.”
For residents without power or heat, the Town will continue to offer warming and charging centers through the weekend:
- Greenwich Library will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 4.
- The lobby of the Greenwich Public Safety Complex on Havemeyer Place is open daily 24/7.
- The Western Greenwich Bendheim Civic Center, 449 Pemberwick Road, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (The Eastern Greenwich (Old Greenwich) Civic Center is closed.)
Personnel from the Town’s emergency services, Parks & Recreation and Public Works departments will continue to monitor the situation throughout Town. The next storm update will be issued on Sunday.
