A new road being constructed on the West side near the Harbour Bridge will be good news for truckers, the Port of Saint John and the Province.
Capt John McCann, VP of Operations at the Port, tells CHSJ News longer loads do not currently have access to the Port.
He says the tolls booths served as a natural barrier that stopped traffic but when the highway was restructured the road was raised up and wide loads cannot go up and make the turn on the new highway system.
McCann says eastbound trucks must drive to Lorneville and turn around but under Phase 2 of the project next year, the fixed medians will be moved allowing the eastbound trucks to swing right in.
