Route 450 made headlines in Newfoundland in January 2018 when massive rainfall caused flooding on January 13 and created a huge crater causing a large portion in the highway to collapse, thus separating residents in Lark Harbour and York Harbour from the remainder of the island. The impacted portion of the road was reopened to traffic on January 17, 2018.
