Sunday’s downpours resulted in flooding that killed two women in Oxford, compromised or destroyed 27 state bridges and dozens more local bridges, culverts and road shoulders. “Until we clear all the debris out, we don’t know if those wall structures are able to be saved or not,” Eucalitto said, pointing to a nearby storm water catch basin. “This must have gotten clogged with debris, so the water just found its way around that way instead,” describing the way the flood changed the course of the brook, now making rebuilding even tougher. “We’re looking at tens of millions of dollars in roadway repairs and reconstruction,” he said during a brief tour and interview. Above, as a reminder, a little gray cloud in the otherwise sunny afternoon dropped some drizzle. “Right now, we’re reallocating resources that we have available. Moving funds around.” Department workers were on duty nonstop from Sunday night through Tuesday and now they’ll be stationed full-time at places where traffic needs to share the road, which in some cases, like along Route 34 in Newtown, is a single lane.
