Vermont roadway washed-out during flash floods

HARDWICK, Vt. (WCAX) – Powerful storms moved across Vermont and the North Country Wednesday night, dumping heavy rain which triggered flash flooding in poor drainage areas.

The flooding created a massive hole in the 700 block of Bunker Hill Road in Hardwick.

Hardwick Police said the split stretched the width of the road, which was about 15 feet, and was about 5 feet deep. The road remains impassable Thursday morning. Hardwick Police told Channel 3 News that crews will be in the area Thursday morning to repair the split road.

WCAX also received reports of washed-out roads in Wolcott by East Hill Road in the area of Young Road and Marsh Road. The WCAX First Alert Weather Team estimates nearly 3-4″ of rain fell in a few hours prompting a Flash Flood Warning which has now expired.
