Harbour Bridge Construction Starts Tomorrow

After months of delays construction will start on Harbour Bridge tomorrow.

Work will be done on single lanes at a time. Traffic signals will change at Somerset and Paradise Row, and between Somerset Street and Highway 1. Ramps will be implemented to help with the flow of traffic on and off Highway 1.

Roadwork will also start tomorrow and last until Tuesday on the section of Union Street from Chipman Hill to Saint Patrick Street. The crosswalk on the Viaduct (North) side of this intersection will also be removed.

Delays are expected, police are asking drivers use caution and remind that fewer cars mean less congestion. Police suggest using Saint John Transit, sign up for Community Carpool, walk or bike and avoid traveling during peak hours.
