Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont says engineers will evaluate roads across state for flood damage
WATERBURY, Conn. -- There was severe flooding in parts of Connecticut on Sunday.
Several roads were closed as drivers became stranded in Waterbury. A tow truck was brought in to remove a car from standing water at a busy intersection.
Over in Bristol, four people were rescued from the floodwaters, and one resident used a small boat to navigate his flooded street.
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont says engineers will now evaluate damage to the roads across the state.
"Department of Transportation ... we're going around the state, taking a second look at all the bridges, making sure they're reinforced. Going along the railway, making sure the embankments there are still holding," Lamont said.
All roads in Connecticut are back open, but officials say drivers should still avoid any standing water.
