(Garrett Barry/CBC) Traffic has resumed on the Trans-Canada Highway in central Newfoundland, after heavy rains helped cause a washout that replaced the road just west of Springdale junction with a canyon and rendered it impassable. That section of highway, near the Blue Canoe campground, caved early Tuesday morning, with the RCMP reporting it gave way as two transport trucks were driving across it. A pickup truck that managed to make it across ahead of the trailers was also damaged, but police said no one was hurt.
