Some New Brunswick roads remain closed after rainstorm
CBC
Crews continue to restore roads after heavy rain and severe winds make for slippery driving conditions across New Brunswick.
Several highways closed Friday in southeastern parts of the province.
Highway 106 near Sackville and Highway 114 near Fundy National Park are closed due to water on the roadways, said Department of Transportation spokesperson Mark Taylor.
Two secondary roads, including Highway 875 near Sussex and Highway 645 near Fredericton, are also closed because of water.
"A number of roadways are slippery currently because of yesterday's weather," said Taylor.
"Crews have been on the scene since yesterday trying to deal with those road closures and we anticipate having them open as soon as possible."
Taylor urged that New Brunswick look at N.B. 511 to see what impacts they should anticipate when travelling over the weekend.
