Route 2 Bridge Damage from Tropical Storm Irene is seen at the Florida-Savoy line. MassDOT Secretary Richard A. Davey announced that work to reconstruct the six-mile section of Route 2 devastated by Tropical Storm Irene will begin in early October.
The roadway linking the communities of North Adams, Florida, Savoy, and Charlemont suffered major damage from the storm and flooding, making it impassable to traffic. Reconstruction is expected to cost $34.5 million and work under an accelerated bidding process will begin early next week. The roadway is expected to re-open to traffic by mid-December.
MassDOT has assembled a map showing the closed portion of Route 2 that suffered significant damage due to flooding from Tropical Storm Irene and outlining the current posted detour.
Route 2 is closed from Mile Marker 21.6 in Florida to Mile Marker 27.5 in Charlemont.

These shrubs are everywhere up here, coming up wild, not sure if they are native shrubs, I have seen people planting them as hedges. The berries are so beautiful and the birds love them. On this particular bush the leaves haven't turned yet because we really haven't had below 32 degree temps YET! Here it is Oct. 20th! Very unusual weather for this part of th country. Usually the leaves turn an orange color. Sometimes the berries are still on the shrubs when we get our first snow, when and if we DO get snow, I will try and get of shot of these beautiful red berries against the white of the snow.

Autumn as come to town and is leaving as quickly as it came although the temperatures are really not that cold yet. We are having a very unusually mild Autumn, perhaps in part from Hurricane Irene coming through. We're not getting any cold fronts from Canada and as far as I know, we really haven't had a frost yet!! Very unusual for this time of the year in this part of the country!

About Me
- anslatadams
- I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
