The closure and detour of a section of Route 114 at the Danvers-Peabody line has come to an end in time for the morning commute on Friday.
A stretch of Route 114 that was closed for most of the day on Thursday is open for the morning commute on Friday.

Utility crews and emergency workers had the road closed into Thursday evening but it reopened overnight on Thursday and repairs were completed. Peabody police sent out a Nixle alert at 5:54 a.m. saying that the road was open again.

The good news? Almost all of the electric customers that were without power earlier in the day have their power back. But workers continue to “set” the damaged poles, as of 4 p.m. That means about a one-third mile stretch of road is blocked to through traffic and is being detoured. “We’ve haven’t set all the poles yet,” said Randi Holland at Peabody Municipal Light Plant.
