The Confederation Bridge connecting New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island reopened around 2:00 p.m. Sunday.

The bridge was shut down around 12:30 p.m. due to a two-vehicle crash. Traffic in both directions was halted to allow emergency crews to get through. 

It's still unclear if there are any injuries.
