Simms Corner is a major road junction in the west side of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. It is located where multiple roads including Route 100 intersect and is well-known for its complex layout and traffic congestion.

History

Simms Corner was named after the historic T.S. Simms & Co. Limited paint brush factory,[1] which operated on the site from 1912 until its closure in 2013 and demolition the following year.[2][3][4]

Traffic and infrastructure

Simms Corner has been frequently described as an "infamous" intersection.[5][6] It is well-known for being a traffic bottleneck,[7] intersecting Route 100, Lancaster Avenue and Main Street West, along with having a rail line that crosses the roads twice.[6][8] Its inefficiencies have been cited as a cause for economic impacts such as slowing down supply chains connected to the Port of Saint John.[5][9] Efforts and proposals to redesign Simms Corner have been made.[10]
