Northumberland Ferries says service between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia have been disrupted this morning.
High winds and heavy rain lashed both provinces Sunday into early Monday.
The company said wind conditions have forced the cancellation of the 7 a.m. departure of the ferry from Wood Islands, P.E.I. The 8:30 a.m. sailing from Caribou, NS., is also cancelled.
High winds also impacted travel in the Halifax region, where the Macdonald Bridge was closed down to traffic temporarily.
According to Halifax Harbour Bridges, the cross-harbour span was closed on Sunday afternoon on a “precautionary basis after unassembled scaffolding slated for use on Project LifeSpan blew from the raised platform onto the roadway below.”
In a post on social media, HHB says the bridge reopened a couple of hours later once the scaffolding had been secured and a full safety inspection was completed.
A special weather statement ended early Monday morning in the Halifax area with Environment Canada saying wind gusts would diminish as the system pushes past the province.
