Travelling today? Here are the roads, ferries closed by the New Brunswick flood

The Trans-Canada Highway between Oromocto and River Glade could remain closed until early next week, according to Al Giberson, the general operations manager for the MRDC.

The closure, which begins at Exit 306 in Oromocto and reaches to Exit 423 in River Glade, forces those travelling on the highway to take a 90-kilometre detour through Saint John.

After the water recedes, the highway will need to be assessed before it's reopened, Giberson said. 

There are more than 80 road closures in all, including a section of Route 10 near Chipman. That stretch of impassable road is important because Google Maps is directing drivers hoping to travel the closed Trans-Canada Highway to Route 10. 

"We've got so many people travelling through to Halifax, Truro, Prince Edward Island, and I don't know why on Google Maps it didn't come up and say, 'You can't go through Highway 10,'" said Chipman fire Chief Barry Armstrong.

"It's all blocked on that end."

Armstrong said drivers are having to turn back to Fredericton and make the loop south to Saint John and then east to Sussex to meet the Trans-Canada again.
