Due to last night's rainfall a portion of Route 7 in New Milford was blocked by flood water from the Housatonic River.  Mayor Pete Bass says the area by Carvel Ice Cream is down to one lane. The peak of the rise in the river is going to be projected 1.5 feet above flood stage and the high water level will max sometime tomorrow. 

He noted that as the Housatonic continues to rise, Route 7 may close entirely. Department of Public Works Director Jack Healy says Indian Trails Bridge is closed due to flooding.

There's also flooding reported in Danbury on Main Street at Wooster Street and at the back of the mall.
