Cape Breton’s famed Cabot Trail re-opens after washout, more rain expected
SYDNEY, N.S. — A section of Cape Breton’s famed Cabot Trail has reopened after heavy rain washed out stretches of the coastal highway and damaged other roads in the area.
Several days of steady rainfall have left the land saturated and watercourses brimming with water.
With more rain on the way, residents on the island are fearing the worst.
Victoria County warden Bruce Morrison said sections of the Cabot Trail were submerged under water and impassable.
