Lane and ramp closures in west Saint John

Some temporary ramp closures and paving will affect traffic on the west side.

Beginning Monday, Gateway Operations and the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will be working at the Exit 119 interchange.

As a result, on- and off-ramps in the area will be closed.

  • Westbound off-ramp 119A – From Highway 1 to Bleury Street
  • Westbound on-ramp – from Catherwood Street/Fairville Boulevard/Bleury Street to Highway 1
  • Eastbound off-ramp 119A-B – From Highway 1 to Bleury Street

Detour signage will be in place and closure information will be available through NB511.

There will be milling and paving operations in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 between the Bleury Street exit and the Chesley Drive exit on the Harbour Bridge.

Drivers should expect alternating lane closures between driving and passing lanes in the area.

DTI will be closing the off-ramp to Chesley Drive from Tuesday through Friday.

Harbour Bridge construction set to begin again

,

Spring has sprung, so it’s time for work to once again begin on the Harbour Bridge.

It’s going to look a little different this year, though.

According to a release from the City of Saint John, there should not be any long-term lane closures this year.

There may still be short-term lane closures occasionally, including temporary single-lane closures in 2027.

There will be minimal 20-minute full bridge closures this year, similar to 2025.

And there will be ramp closures and Harbour Passage detours this year, through 2028, for bearing replacements.

The first significant disruption begins Monday, with the temporary closure of a section of Harbour Passage from Hilyard Street to Fort LaTour.

The closure is necessary to safely work on the underside of the Harbour Bridge ramp, and will continue through the duration of the construction.

Harbour Bridge fully open to traffic

Drivers in Saint John got an early Christmas present this morning as the Harbour Bridge fully reopened.

There was no fanfare as the signs came down and all four lanes reopened.

No more long-term lane closures are expected for the rest of the project.

Next year it’s expected work will move to the two ramps connecting the bridge to Chesley Drive.

The rehabilitation project is currently planned to be completed sometime in 2028.

Harbour Bridge work expected to finish in December

The City of Saint John confirm construction on the Harbour Bridge is expected to wrap up on December 10.

The city said all lanes and ramps will be open, and the Harbour Passage detour near the Brunswicker will be removed, restoring the original trail for pedestrians and cyclists.

Officials noted no long-term lane closures are planned beyond 2025. Short-term closures may still occur, including single-lane work in 2027.

The city added that ramp closures and Harbour Passage detours will continue between 2026 and 2028 for bearing replacements. Minimal full bridge closures of about 20 minutes are also expected in 2026.

The project is being carried out in partnership with the Government of New Brunswick and the provincial Department of Transportation.
