If you're heading out on the road this weekend, here's what you need to know about flood-related road closures throughout the province.

The Trans-Canada Highway reopened to traffic Friday afternoon, though is down to one lane each direction.

Speed limits are also reduced between kilometre markers 330 and 339, and some exit and entrance ramps will remain closed until water recedes enough for debris cleanup and inspection to occur.
