Officials are still working to assess and repair damage after historic flooding across parts of New Hampshire and Vermont this week caused by remnants of Hurricane Beryl.
A video shared by Amber Kay on Facebook shows a road in Lancaster, N.H., washed out by floodwaters on Thursday. The road, Elm Street, is split in two, with a rushing river of floodwater slicing through the gap.
Lancaster city officials said in a notice on the town's website Thursday that "rebuilding the roads will take some time."
"Local officials are working hard to assess and address damage to the town after last evening's storm. DOT crews are working on state roads and access to roads may be restricted while work is being conducted. Your dedicated Lancaster town crews are working on town roads and hope to have town roads passable before the end of the day," the city said. "Neighbors help neighbors."
Numerous water rescues were conducted amid historic flooding Wednesday and into Thursday, especially in areas where the Connecticut River breached roads. Damage was reported in several towns, including Lancaster, Dalton, Littleton, Whitefield, and other communities in Coos and Grafton counties.
In nearby Littleton, Fire Chief Chad Miller told New Hampshire Public Radio Thursday that "most of our major roads in and out of town are closed."
"I would check before traveling anywhere in this area - Monroe, Dalton, Whitefield, Lancaster, and on the other side of the Connecticut River in Vermont," Miller told the outlet.
