Miramichi has good highway connections to other major centres in New Brunswick offered via [[New Brunswick Route 8|Highways 8]] (west to [[Fredericton]]; north to [[Bathurst, New Brunswick|Bathurst]] and [[Campbellton, New Brunswick|Campbellton]]) and [[New Brunswick Route 11|11]] (south to [[Moncton]], [[Prince Edward Island]] and [[Nova Scotia]]). The Plaster Rock – Renous highway ([[New Brunswick Route 108|Route 108]]) offers the quickest connection to major centres in [[Quebec]], [[Ontario]], and points west.

For many years, the only bridge at Miramichi was a narrow, historic crossing called the [[Morrissy Bridge]], at [[Newcastle, New Brunswick|Newcastle]]. Ferry service facilitated crossings at Chatham and [[Loggieville, New Brunswick|Loggieville]]. In the late 1960s the [[Centennial Bridge (New Brunswick)|Centennial Bridge]] was completed at Chatham, greatly improving north–south transit across the river. The [[Miramichi Bridge]] at Newcastle opened in the late 1990s.

===Bus===
[[Miramichi Transit]] also operates local bus service within the city.

===Water===
The towns of [[Chatham, New Brunswick|Chatham]] and [[Newcastle, New Brunswick|Newcastle]] were formerly important ports for northeastern New Brunswick. Dredging, however, was necessary to maintain a deep enough channel for most ships to cross between the barrier dune islands at the mouth of [[Miramichi Bay]]. Ocean-going ships entering the port must have a shallow draft, and must navigate the ancient, meandering course of the drowned Miramichi River channel through the inner Bay.

HTI / High Tech Industries owns and operates the marine terminal situated close below the Morrisey Bridge in Miramichi West (the former town of Newcastle). The site contains approximately 21,625 m<sup>2</sup> (5.34 acres) of property, with a berthage length of 313 m and a depth of 9 m. Two unheated storage sheds are located on the property containing 10,300 m<sup>2</sup> and 2325 m<sup>2</sup> of enclosed storage area. There is an open storage area of 9000 square metres.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://seaport.homestead.com/files/miramichi.html|title=Port of Miramichi / Newcastle, NB, Canada|work=homestead.com}}</ref>

===Rail===
The [[Canadian National Railway]] (CN) northern line between Moncton and Campbellton passes through Miramichi. Miramichi was served by the [[New Brunswick East Coast Railway]] (NBECR) until it was purchased by CN in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.traingeek.ca/2008/11/cn-purchases-nbec-cfmg-ocr-cogema.html|title=CN Purchases NBEC, CFMG, OCR, COGEMA|author=Steve Boyko|work=traingeek.ca}}</ref> [[Via Rail]] offers passenger service on this line at the [[Miramichi railway station]] via the ''[[Ocean (train)|Ocean]]'' train to Montreal and Halifax.

===Air===
Miramichi is located within a 90-minute drive of two international airports ([[Fredericton International Airport]], [[Greater Moncton International Airport]]) with scheduled domestic and international flights. [[Bathurst Airport (New Brunswick)]] is located within a 50 minute drive offering flights to Montreal.
