All Lanes Open On Harbour Bridge

All lanes on the Saint John Harbour Bridge are now fully open to traffic according to Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Claude Williams.

There are traffic measures in place intended to slow traffic to 50 kilometres per hour where the toll plaza use to be. They include a raised curb between the two lanes heading west to east, a concrete barrier and speed measurement signs that show motorists how fast they are going.

Work under the bridge will continue throughout the winter in preparation for the final phases of work on the bridge.

The eastbound lanes will close down in the spring for refurbishment.

However, the walking trail under the bridge will re-open on December 16th.
