Rothesay Road is still closed so commuters will have to allow extra time this morning.

They were hoping to have the repavcing work done and the road reopened on the weekend….but the bad weather has delayed that. They’ll lay the asphalt as soon as they can and hope to have the street open this week.

Rothesay town manager John Jarvie told the Telegraph-Journal when Roithesay Road reopens it won’t be back to normal, however, as crews will have some finishing touches to do which could cause delays.

Sunday Services were held again at the Stone Church to celebrate it’s reopening after a year of renovations.

The Anglican church held its re-dedication service with about 150 people in attendance.  Rev. Dr. John Paul Westin told the Telegraph-Journal they had to tear down the meeting hall because of mould problems and build new additions. The renovation cost close to $1 million. He said there were challenges in meeting modern building codes in a structure that’s almost 200 years old.
