April 17, 2014 by admin

As we’ve said before, we always enjoy opening our Inbox, because (like that infamous box of chocolates) we never know what we’re going to find … well, today it held a couple of photos of the Ferry Road (Rte. 148) causeway in Hadlyme across Whalebone Cove flooded out by Connecticut River “freshet” (high water caused by spring rains  and snow melt upstream in northern New England.)

The loyal reader who sent the photos further helpfully advises that service on the Chester- Hadlyme Ferry has been suspended until the water recedes.

The Department of Transportation website states that the duration of time for which the service will be out of action is “unknown.”
