Downed Line Slows North Adams Traffic, Closes Restaurant

Staff Reports

Wire & Alarm Inspector Mitchell Meranti works to disconnect the line to get it out of the roadway. 
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A tractor-trailer truck took down an electrical line on State Street, closing the road for an hour and Grazie for several days. 
 
The incident occurred just past 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday as the daily rush hour was about to start. Northbound traffic was detoured at Hodges Cross Road and southbound traffic was allowed through, using the driveway of Automan Sam to get around the line. 
 
The line came down across both lanes until Wire and Alarm Inspector Mitchell Meranti was able to disconnect it from the pole outside Automan Sam's.
 
The automotive accessories store and the restaurant both lost power, but Grazie owner Matt Tatro described the damage as a "face punch" on Facebook
 
The line was pulled off the restaurant taking out the power, a new mini split air conditioning unit and sign. 
 
"We will need a couple days (hopefully) to get back in game day form.  We apologize that we will be closed tomorrow and Thursday to hopefully get the place back in shape. No power, internet, etc. All wires sheared off," the restaurant posted on its Facebook page. 
 
The restaurant's tentative reopening is Friday.
