According to the police, several dozen small roads are cut off to traffic at the time of writing these lines. The whole department is concerned. Traffic on the A304, towards Rocroi, was interrupted for two hoursfrom 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.
The town center of the commune of Signy l’Abbaye in the west of the Ardennes seems to have been particularly affected by the rising waters.
In the Marne, fallen trees and flooded cellars
The damage in the Marne is particularly concentrated in the west of the department. The firefighters intervened around forty times in the areas of Dormans, Sézanne, Montmirail and Esternay. These latter communes are close to the border with Seine-et-Marne, only department placed on red alert to floods this Thursday morning.
The firefighters mainly noted flooding of cellars and fallen trees on the roads, also closed to traffic, without further details. The waterways are monitored. Some interventions also took place, to a lesser extent, in Reims, particularly for infiltrations in the roofs.
