Prepare for detours: Many New Brunswick roads closed by flooding
Road closures are piling up as water levels continue to rise along the St. John River and some other waterways this week.
Meredith Gilbert, manager of transit and p;arking for the City of Fredericton, is encouraging more people to use public transit.
Park-and-ride services have been set up at the Regent Mall, Grant-Harvey Centre, Willie O'Ree Place and Brookside Mall.
The service offers a place to park and use the city's regular bus service. Parking is free and the bus costs $2.75 per trip.
People who have city issued-hang tags for downtown parking can use their hang tags to ride the bus.
The bus runs every half-hour during peak times and every hour throughout the day.
Gilbert is also encouraging people to walk, bike, carpool, arrive at work earlier or leave later to reduce the amount of traffic on city streets.
"We're expecting heavy impacts from a traffic standpoint," she said.
