Union Rd. Closed at Norton-Attleboro Town Line

Norton PD announced via Facebook and Twitter Wednesday afternoon that Union Rd. in Norton near the Attleboro line was closed due to road conditions.

In Attleboro, Peckham St. leading to Norton is closed.

The closure comes after a recent discussion by the Norton Selectmen regarding flooding caused by work at the Shpack Landfill. Town Manager Michael Yunits said last month that he met with the highway departments in Norton and in Attleboro in hopes of addressing the issue. According to Yunits, the current drain grating is not working near the site resulting in the accumulation of water.

The Enironmental Protection Agency is currently cleaning up contamination at the Shpack site, which is located on the Norton-Attleboro town line
