Repair crews took advantage of the nice weather today to make more road improvements in Norfolk. As it stands tonight, all roads are passable with the exception of the washouts on Smith Road, Old Goshen Road and Rt 272 at Estey Road. Earlier this afternoon Norfolk was visited by U.S Senator Richard Blumenthal who visited to survey the flood damage as well as the remaining clean up from the gasoline spill. First Selectman Riiska and Road Supervisor Troy Lemere spoke with the Senator to express their concerns about funding and streamlining the repair process.

Good luck getting any help
Thanks for all you do!! 👍
Hopefully Blumenthal will attack this with the same vigor as when he fought in Vietnam… ooops, oh, wait…
Hey Norfolk folks, we have a significant weather system coming in to CT early tomorrow morning and continuing into tomorrow evening. With all of our recent rain events, even a small amount tomorrow may cause more issues in town. This may include more road & private driveway washouts and basement flooding. Most areas in the state can expect another 2-4 inches and up to 8-10 inches where the strongest rain bands set up. As you can see in the graphic, it is unknown where that will be. Another concern is the increased (but still low) chance of a small tornado. The Norfolk Vol. Fire Dept. will be ready to respond and our emergency management office is monitoring the situation closely with our state partners. Let's hope we avoid the worst. Now is the time to check your generator and sump pumps.
