Temporary closure of a section of Harbour Passage for Harbour Bridge construction

The City of Saint John advises the public of a temporary closure of a section of Harbour Passage due to ongoing construction on the Harbour Bridge. The closure will affect the area from Hilyard Street to Fort LaTour. The section will be closed starting Monday, March 23, 2026 for the duration of the Harbour Bridge construction.

The temporary closure is necessary to safely work on the underside of the Harbour Bridge ramp.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Please plan your routes accordingly and follow any posted signage.

Looking ahead to construction season, here’s what to expect:

• No long-term lane closures across the bridge are planned, but short-term lane closures may still occur occasionally (including temporary single lane closures in 2027)
• Ramp closures and Harbour Passage detours will continue in 2026–2028 for bearing replacements
• Minimal 20-minute full bridge closures in 2026, similar to 2025
