Route 34 in Oxford has reopened weeks ahead of schedule after devastating floods in August destroyed the road.
The historic flooding buckled pavement, left 12 Oxford roads impassable, washed away six bridges and damaged several homes and businesses.

Gov. Ned Lamont said on Wednesday that Route 34 by Loughlin Road is now fully reopened to traffic, ahead of schedule.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation and crews the department worked with finished the work two weeks ahead of schedule, the governor said.
Around 10,000 cars crossed the bridge each day before it closed, according to the state Department of Transportation and communications director Josh Morgan said this was a really big job.
A temporary bridge structure is up not and DOT expects it will be several years before there is a permanent structure.
"Any time that we're redoing the structure, looking at our infrastructure, we’re thinking climate. We’re thinking future-proofing to prepare for any future rain events here in Connecticut." Morgan said.
The state Department of Transportation said there is still some minor roadwork in the area and urges drivers to slow down and watch out for workers.
