CONWAY — Sunday’s daylong deluge brought massive flooding to Mount Washington Valley rivers, with police closing both ends of West Side Road on Monday morning, with roads in Madison, Ossipee and Tamworth also reportedly closed.
The north end of West Side Road was reopened as of 2 p.m. Monday, according to Conway Police Chief Chris Mattei.
