ELMSDALE/KENNETCOOK: Washed out roads and bridges that are closed are expected to have an impact on school bussing for some Municipality of East Hants schools, the Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education said in a post.

The roads and bridge closures are a result of flooding that happened in mid to late July.

The closures will impact schools in the Corridor as well as those in Hants North and Mount Uniacke area.
