An ice jam developed on the Aroostook River in the vicinity of Fort Fairfield during the 1st causing rising river levels. The rising river levels eventually led to the closure of Riverside Road and Russell Road during the evening of the 1st. The roads remained closed into the evening of the 4th when the ice jam released allowing river levels to fall and allowing the roads to re-open.
