Fallen Tree Blocks Adams Dam Road Near Brandywine Creek State Park

A downed tree entangled in power lines has forced authorities to shut down Adams Dam Road in both directions. The closure stretches from Brandywine Creek State Park to West Rockland Road until crews can safely clear the obstruction.

Traffic is being rerouted around a section of Adams Dam Road after a fallen tree became entangled in electrical wires, prompting officials to close the roadway completely.

The road closure affects both lanes of traffic between Brandywine Creek State Park and West Rockland Road while utility crews work to safely remove the tree and address any power line damage.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes until the obstruction can be cleared and the roadway reopened to normal traffic flow.
