In the wake of heavy overnight rainstorms, a high tide along the coastlines of Marblehead, Swampscott, and Lynn brought a slew of flooded streets and road closures in the three communities Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch that will remain in effect through most of Massachusetts until 1 p.m.
Department of Public Works Vehicle blocked off portions of Lynn Shore Drive, in Lynn and Humphrey Street, in Swampscott, at approximately 9 a.m., as massive waves of approximately 50 feet in height rose and crashed over the walkway lining Red Rock Park in Lynn through King’s and Fisherman’s Beaches.
At approximately 10 a.m., crews cleaned debris such as seaweed, branches, and outdoor chairs out of water puddles up to roughly three feet high that were scattered along coastal streets. At 9 a.m., the Marblehead Causeway was closed due to flooding, and Marblehead Police blocked off a portion of Front Street from the Barnacle Restaurant up to Fort Sewall.
In Saugus, Route 99 was closed for flooding in both directions at approximately 10:30 a.m.
In Swampscott, portions of Atlantic Avenue were closed due to flooding as waves crashed over the Yacht Club. At 10:45 a.m., Atlantic Avenue reopened. The Marblehead Causeway reopened at approximately 11 a.m.
