Portion of Newtown Turnpike Closed due to Flooding
Heavy flooding from a nearby natural water source forced the closure of Newtown Turnpike, between Wilton Road and Crawford Road, at 5:00 PM this evening. Police remind drivers to follow the direction of barricades and avoid the area. No word on when the road will reopen, the Westport Public Works Department was on-scene to assess.
