Saint John Transit is rerouting Route 31 Forest Glen starting Thursday, August 20, 2026. If you rely on this route for your daily commute, you need to adjust your travel plans. Road construction on Glen Road between Connaught Avenue and Simpson Drive forces this temporary change.

New Detour Route

The updated travel path takes buses away from the active construction zone. Buses traveling on Glen Road will turn left on Brown Street. From there, they will take a right on Broadway Avenue, followed by a left on Simpson Drive before returning to the regular route.

Temporary Bus Stop Closures

This detour directly impacts two specific transit stops. Saint John Transit has temporarily closed the locations at 81 Glen Road and St. Anne’s Church on Simpson Drive. You will need to use alternative stops along the detour path or regular route until the construction finishes.
