PORTLAND — A portion of Route 17A is currently closed because of water flooding over the road, according to the Department of Transportation.
The road is shut down between between Route 17 and Summer Street, according to the DOT.
Such flooding is a fairly common occurrence, a Portland police dispatcher said Saturday — it happens a few times a year.
The Connecticut River floods the nearby fairgrounds when there is a good amount of rain, which spills across the roadway.
