BLOG: Delaware County remains under a travel advisory
Delaware County remains under a travel advisory until further notice. Travel only when necessary. If you must travel use caution as crews may be out continuing to work clearing roads and repairing down lines.
Also beware of debris, trees and downed lines as wind is continued. Do not attempt to drive through or touch downed power lines. Do not drive through water, stay out of flooded basements. Remember, generators can be dangerous. Do not attempt to cut trees where power lines are down.
The following roads or sections of roads are reported as closed:

Middletown are all closed due to trees and/or power lines down

Once trees and power lines are removed from these roads, they will be
reopened.
