Bridge rehabilitation work on the Columbus Drive Overpass near Waterford Bridge Road will begin Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and is scheduled to be completed in summer 2026.
Work in 2025 focuses on sidewalks, the median, and work underneath the overpass. In spring 2026, work will resume to repair and repave the overpass deck.
Traffic on Columbus Drive and Waterford Bridge Road will be disrupted, and sections of the Bowring Park Duck Pond parking lot will be unavailable. Expect lane reductions, traffic slowdowns, and limited parking until the project concludes.
The City will make every effort to minimize interruptions. Pedestrian access will be maintained during construction, and the public is asked to follow all personnel and posted signage in and near the construction zone.
The City of St. John’s will provide updates on traffic interruptions and progress throughout the duration of the project. You can subscribe to receive the latest City news and advisories.
