Part of Nova Scotia’s Trans-Canada Highway has been shut down because of a protest over border restrictions announced Tuesday by the provincial government.

All four lanes at Exit 7 on Highway 104 of the Cobequid Pass — about 50 kilometres from the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border — are closed and detours are in place, the Transportation Department tweeted.

RCMP said traffic was being diverted through Exit 7 onto Highway 4. The RCMP asked people to avoid the area and drive cautiously if they are in the area.
