City Says Expect Road Delays This Summer

If you hate sitting in traffic then you may want to stay off the streets of Saint John this summer.

The city has a slew of road repairs and infrastructure upgrades on deck for this summer which will result in lane closures and delays.

Commissioner of Municipal Operations Paul Groody says work will include the Westfield Road, Westmorland Road and Union Street.
 
Construction projects related to harbour clean-up will also cause a number of road closures and delays.

Here is list on the projects the city will undertake this summer:

One Mile Interchange - lane reductions on the Throughway and reconstruction of Rothesay Avenue/Russell Street

Westfield Road Reconstruction - Dalton Court to By Road #7 (plan to maintain one lane of alternating traffic during construction)

Bleury Street Reconstruction - Sand Cove Road to Molson Avenue (will likely result in road closures and detours)

Market Place Reconstruction - road closures and detours

Kennebecasis Drive Culvert  - at Brothers Cove (road closure and detour)

Station Street/City Road Forcemain - Harbour Station to Haymarket Square (lane reductions)

Union Street Reconstruction - Aquatic Centre to Wellington Row (road closures and detours)

Broad Street/Crown Street Forcemain - Charlotte Street to Haymarket Square (lane reductions)

Westmorland Road Reconstruction - Westmorland Place to Kervin Road (road closures and detours)
