It will still be awhile before vehicles can drive though this area, a main thoroughfare to Peabody and Salem. There are barricades at several points along Water Street.

"The roadway will remain closed at least until Monday," said Danvers police Chief Neil Ouellette. Water Street is closed from Endicott to South Liberty streets, he said.

Gov.-elect Deval Patrick is expected to visit the site today, according to Danvers state Rep. Ted Speliotis.

"He doesn't want to get in the way, and he doesn't want to be disrespectful - that's why he didn't come (Wednesday)," Speliotis said.

Marquis said he expects Danversport to be declared a disaster area, which should help residents and businesses get help.

"We're hoping for some form of federal and state relief to assist our residents," he said.
