There’s some good news for drivers who use the Saint John Harbour Bridge.

In a statement on Facebook Thursday, the City of Saint John said the finish line is in sight for the 2025 phase of work on the bridge.

By the end of November, it’s expected all lanes on the bridge will be open to traffic, as well as all ramps on and off the bridge.

The Harbour Passage detour near HMCS Brunswicker will also be removed.

There is still more work to come, though.

The good news is that long-term lane closures across the bridge should be a thing of the past after this year. Short-term lane closures may still occur occasionally, including temporary single-lane closures in 2027.

Ramp closures and Harbour Passage detours will continue from 2026 through 2028 for bearing replacements.

Minimal 20-minute full closures are also expected to occur in 2026.
