Utility Pole Hit on Meadow Street; Wires Down
Police are advising that drivers avoid the area of Meadow Street between the Senior Center and the Naugatuck Green as repairs are made.
Naugatuck, CT - A utility pole near the parking lot behind St. Francis Church on Meadow Street was hit on Thursday morning and Eversource is working to make the necessary repairs. The Naugatuck Fire Dept. was on the scene at 10:00am and the Naugatuck Police Dept. blocked off Meadow from the four way stop at the Naugatuck Senior Center to the traffic light at the corner of Meadow and the Naugatuck Green.
An event for seniors was taking place at the Senior Center so traffic in the area was very heavy and parking difficult; however the newly renovated center was packed with attendees.
Unconfirmed reports indicated that a truck hit the utility pole this morning and that the pole was already weakened. Drivers are advised to avoid the area for the next several hours.
