Simsbury Water Main Break Cleared: DOT

SIMSBURY, CT — A broken water main in a busy section of Simsbury required the rerouting of traffic, according to the Simsbury Police Department.

But the state Department of Transportation, however, has declared the situation "cleared" as of about 10:30 a.m. and local police said "normal" traffic was now flowing in that area.

In a social media post at about 6 a.m., police said the situation had impacted traffic on West Street (Route 167) from Hopmeadow Street (Route 202) to Firetown Road.

As a result, the westbound lane of West Street was closed "until further notice."

Police estimated the situation would be cleared by noon Wednesday morning, with state officials later reporting the matter was cleared a bit earlier.
