Road closure list expands as floodwaters rise in New Brunswick

The warm temperatures and recent periods of rain have caused flooding in several New Brunswick communities and that is leading to many road closures.

In Fredericton the St. John River has overflowed its banks and several other areas of the province are under advisories.

The rising water has caused several road closures across the province which are listed below.
