Hurricane Irene's effect on roadways in Princeton, NJ

For historic remembrance, I'm capturing here the list (gleaned from the Princeton Patch website) of roads still closed 24 hours after all the action. We live in a small town; are there any roads in Princeton NOT closed due to trees or flooding or both? Friends have been kayaking around the major roadways today. Here's what's published today:
