The Parish Hill Bridge, which connects Parish Hill Road to Dover Road, is heavily damaged. Thanks to some intrepid residents with a backhoe, a temporary dirt ramp has been built to allow vehicles to pass over. This bridge is for local traffic, emergency vehicles, utility vehicles and recovery vehicles only. Please do not use this bridge if you do not fit that description -- this bridge is literally a lifeline for the residents on the other side, and in its already damaged state there can be no unnecessary traffic.

  • Any idea if the house at the end if the driveway between the parish bridge and Dover road is still down there? It's that dirt driveway you panned the camera past. My grandparents used to own that house. Thanks!

  • @davidrysz Yes, the house is there and in good shape. Amazingly, it only suffered basement flooding, despite being completely surrounded by rushing water. The garage is badly damaged and will need to be torn down and the driveway washed away, but the house is standing strong. A great couple named Chris and Carol live there now. They host art retreats on the property.
