Weather conditions have caused damage to a number of roadways and bridges in the province.
Almost an hour after the Milburn bridge collapse, police responded after a vehicle got stuck in a sink hole that had developed on Route 175 in Tyne Valley. The two occupants of the vehicle were not injured.
RCMP advise motorists to adjust their driving to the conditions and be aware that they may encounter road damage, debris on closed roads and bridges. They also advise drivers to obey any barricades and signage that are in place.
