TRANS-CANADA EXPECTED TO REOPEN IN NEW BRUNSWICK
Officials in New Brunswick hope to reopen a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway between Moncton and Fredericton today. The four-lane stretch — used by an average of 10,000 to 12,000 vehicles daily — has been closed for the past week because of record-breaking flooding in the province. The water has receded, but road crews were removing debris yesterday as inspectors walked the route looking for damage.
