Concord Turnpike in Concord closed at the junctions of Routes 2 and 2A.
Does this mean that route 2 west bound is closed? Or the junction is closed?
===========================================
Here is our message from the local community, which controls the Concord Turnpike: closed as it does routinely for flooding: Concord Turnpike in Concord (at the junctions of Routes 2 and 2A).
