HARWICHFrom Harwich Police: There is a snapped pole on Monomoy Road which has resulted in all of the wires to be hanging dangerously close to the ground.

Eversource MA and Verizon are responding to make repairs. We have closed the road for everyone’s safety. We have had several citizens walk directly under the wires which is a really, really bad idea.

We will update as soon as repairs are made.

It appeared old pole still in place somehow moved hitting the replaced pole knocking down the wires onto property on Monomoy Road. That forced the Harwich Police and Fire Apparatus to block Monomoy at Brooks Road. Eversource may need to shut off power in the area until the wires can be put back up.
