RCMP say yesterday’s snow resulted in 20 vehicles going into the ditches along a stretch of the Trans-Canada between Mountain and Mapleton Roads. Corporal Valerie Cyr told the Times and Transcript the vehicles, including at least one transport truck, hit an icy stretch and went into the ditches on both sides of the highway…nobody was hurt.

Petitcodiac bridge coming
Ottawa and the province will be providing almost $62 million to build a bridge across the Petitcodiac to replace part of the causeway, according to the Times and Transcript.
Provincial Finance Minister Cathy Rogers says the bridge has been a long time coming. They’ve been talking about it for decades and now it’s going to happen. She says it’ll help restore fish habuitat in the river and re-establish the tidal bore further upriver. Rogers says it’ll help enhance ecotourism as well as fishing…both commercial and recreational.
No word yet when the project will get underway.
