Nova Scotia’s Department of Public Works says it has repaired nearly 500 sections of damaged paved and gravel roads and 60 road shoulders since last weekend’s record storm caused severe flooding.

Crews have also replaced 62 culverts, but there are still about 20 provincial road closures, down from nearly 60 on Saturday.
