BARTLETT — Route 302 from Glen to Crawford’s Notch was opened back up to traffic by 9 p.m. last Friday night after being closed most of last week due to a monster storm that blew in Oct. 29-30.
The storm brought damaging winds and heavy rains, which caused an estimated $8 million worth of damage statewide.
