Rising waters mean more road closures across the province

As water levels continue to rise on Wednesday, road closures are flooding in across the province.

Several road closures have been issued in the Fredericton, Saint John and Edmundston areas.

New Brunswick's Emergency Measures Organization said more roads are expected to close throughout the week as water levels climb.

• Flooding submerges small island community's only road to mainland 
• EMO encourages more home evacuations as St. John River flooding worsens

A list of road closures can be found below.
