TRANSPORTATION/PUBLIC WORKS--Traffic Advisory
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CUMBERLAND, COLCHESTER COUNTIES: COBEQUID PASS

The Department of Transportation and Public Works is advising
motorists in Cumberland and Colchester counties to stay off roads
and highways unless absolutely necessary.

The Cobequid Pass has been closed to traffic because of a 
blizzard, which has reduced visibility. Blowing snow has made
driving treacherous on all highways in the two counties.

Motorists who must travel are advised to use Trunk 4 -- the old
highway 104.
