More road closures affected by floodwaters across New Brunswick
City of Fredericton closes more streets as water levels rise
With rain and warm temperatures in the forecast, more roads have been closed as water levels rise in areas across New Brunswick.
The water level has risen to 8.2 metres in Fredericton, forcing the city to close more streets.
In an effort to ease traffic congestion, the city of Fredericton says people can ride on Fredericton Transit for free from Saturday to Tuesday as it runs its usual routes, not currently affected by road closures.
The city also issued a picture to show the new traffic pattern on the Westmorland Street Bridge due to so many on and off ramps being closed.
Sections of roads have also been barricaded in other parts of the province.

For updates on the flood situation go to our story here.
EMO and police are warning people to obey the barricades that are in place blocking streets and roads.
We would like to reiterate the importance of obeying barricades. The flood waters are likely deeper than you expect, or roads may not be there at all. Also, driving through flood waters can potentially creating waves, and significantly damaging property.
