Traffic disruptions in support of Larry Uteck Boulevard infrastructure upgrades
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents of upcoming traffic delays on Larry Uteck Boulevard, between the north and south Broad Street roundabouts.
These traffic delays are required to facilitate road infrastructure upgrades and the extension of the multi-use path (MUP) between these two roundabouts. This work is expected to begin on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and is anticipated to be completed in mid-November 2026.
Time: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (weekdays)
Work details: This project includes coordinated road maintenance and infrastructure improvements designed to enhance safety, accessibility and long-term road conditions, including:
Building a new paved multi-use pathway along the east side of Larry Uteck Boulevard
Installing new curbs and roadside drainage features
Upgrading the stormwater drainage system to help move rainwater away from the road and pathway
Removing old asphalt and paving with new asphalt
Refreshing road markings and installing or updating signs
Landscaping work, including new grass and tree planting
This work aligns with the Moving Better goals outlined in the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan.
Traffic impact: Traffic impacts are expected throughout the duration of the project and may include the following:
Weekday impacts:
Two-way traffic will be maintained with lane reductions and altered centelines in place for most of the project duration.
There will be periods of stop-and-go traffic when during the final stages of the project, including paving work.
These are expected to be the standard daytime traffic impacts during this project.
Weekend work: Some aspects of this project may require weekend work to minimize weekday traffic impacts.
Local access and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
Drivers should expect delays and are asked to use alternative routes where possible.
Transit impact: Two transit stops on Larry Uteck Boulevard near the north Broad Street roundabout will be temporarily closed while this work is underway. Visit our website for up-to-date impacts to Halifax Transit routes and bus stops.
Active transportation impact: The shoulder of the road through this area is commonly used by people walking and rolling. As part of this project, a new multi-use path connection will be constructed to link the existing multi-use paths at either end of the corridor.
Due to limited space within the construction zone and the need to safely accommodate construction activities, local traffic, Halifax Transit and emergency vehicles, people walking and rolling must use alternate routes around the project area. Signage will be in place to direct travellers to available detour routes.
