Commuting in Saint John requires a bit more patience starting July 20. The City of Saint John reduces Bleury Street to a single lane to accommodate a 16 day asphalt resurfacing project.

Project Location and Times

The lane reduction affects the stretch of Bleury Street between the Throughway Overpass and Sand Cove Road. Crews work from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily. The construction impacts traffic in both directions.

What to Expect on Your Commute

The city sets up detours for both vehicles and pedestrians. You see road and sidewalk directional signage guiding you through the area. Officials ask you to drive with caution and watch out for workers and pedestrians navigating the construction zone.
