Access PEI's Charlottetown offices had to close on Tuesday afternoon due to "an unforeseen maintenance issue," according to a tweet from the provincial government's account.

The issue also affected the offices of the highway safety division in the same building at 33 Riverside Dr. 

The tweet, sent at 3:25 p.m., said the Charlottetown office would be open for regular business hours on Wednesday. 

A government spokesperson later told CBC News that there was a leaking pipe in the basement, but no other details were available.
