More than a month after major flood damage caused by Hurricane Beryl washed out parts
More than a month after major flood damage caused by Hurricane Beryl washed out parts of Route 135 and prompted several closures, segments in Dalton and Lancaster have reopened following major repair work. After the July 10 and 11 rains, the bridge in Dalton on Route 135, between Union Road and Landry Road, was closed following a wash-out. A temporary detour was established, and a temporary bridge was constructed to allow for alternating traffic. Plans are being developed for a new bridge. In Lancaster, Route 135 between Buffalo Road and Hoopers Drive was closed. On Monday, Richard Arcand, spokesman for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, said the temporary one-lane bridge in Dalton reopened on Saturday, and he had just received word that the Lancaster section had reopened.
