The City of Saint John released a detailed review on Dec. 12 regarding the recent rail-crossing replacement project, which caused widespread traffic delays and confusion for local businesses. The report identifies several key issues, including poor communication between contractors and city officials, scheduling errors, and unexpected logistical challenges that disrupted traffic flow and public transit routes.
City officials say the review includes recommendations for improving project planning, contractor oversight, and public notification in future infrastructure projects. Local business owners expressed frustration over lost revenue during the delays but appreciated the city’s effort to address the issues.
Officials emphasized that lessons learned from the project will guide better coordination, ensuring future roadworks and rail infrastructure improvements proceed more smoothly and with minimal impact on the community.
