Route 8 from Enclosure to Parker Road closed for 3 weeks

August 19 to September 6

The section of Route 8 from the interchange near the Enclosure exit to Parker Road will be closed next week as DTI replaces the rough cement section of the road.  Traffic can detour through Millerton  which will add about 7 minutes to the journey.  Going through South Esk is also an option, though a longer detour.  Her eis the email from DTI:

"As received from the Department of Infrastructure and Transportation, please see the important work and impacts to traffic that will greatly impact traffic on the concrete coming to/from the Anderson Bridge set of lights and from Route 8 on the Parker Road south into Miramichi from Miramichi River Valley (Renous). This includes a full closure of Route 8 (from Route 420 Interchange to Parker Road).

This will be taking place on the concrete section of Route 08 for 3 weeks from August 19th – September 6th, 2024

There will be a signed detour in place to guide traffic around site, the detour will take place on Route 108 and will add approximately 6-7 minutes travel time.

This is a significant deviation in traffic patterns for all services, agencies and stakeholders involved and should be planned for appropriately.
