Police Warn Drivers To Slow Down On Water-Covered Roads

Rain on snow covered or snow-packed roads are making for a messy drive in some spots today.    

And if that's not enough, there is water pooling on the roads that are clear and flooding may become an issue.

Ice is also falling from trees, homes and buildings onto vehicles and people as the temperature goes up.   

Be very careful where you are walking and driving today.



Local police warning drivers to take it slow on highways. Callers to our News Tips Line (466-2222) say waters are rising on the Waweig Bridge, on the Oak Bay Causeway, and by Dennis Stream.

The RCMP also tweeting a warning that Highway 7 between Oromocto and Saint John is very slippery and they recommend motorists slow down and drive with extreme caution.
