**** HRM Release
Traffic Delay – Highway 111
Location: Highway 111, from the MacKay Bridge and Barrington Street toward the Windsor Street Exchange
Dates and times: 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25 to 6 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 26
Work details: This is to facilitate paving the new Bayne Street ramp connection from Highway 111 as part of the Windsor Street Exchange project.
Once completed later this year, the new connection will provide a more direct route for port traffic travelling from Barrington Street and the MacKay Bridge, helping reduce heavy truck traffic through other areas of the Windsor Street Exchange and providing an alternate access route to Bayne Street during future construction activities.
The connection is part of broader improvements at the Windsor Street Exchange that are designed to improve traffic flow, support goods movement to and from the Port of Halifax, and enhance the efficiency and resilience of the transportation network.
Traffic impact: The following traffic impacts will be in place while this overnight paving work takes place:
The MacKay Bridge ramp onto Highway 111 toward the Windsor Street Exchange will be reduced to one lane in this direction.
The existing lane reduction on the Barrington Street ramp toward the Windsor Street Exchange will be extended to allow this traffic to merge into traffic coming from the MacKay Bridge.
Highway 111 will be reduced to one lane in this direction while this work is underway.
Drivers should expect delays and are asked to use alternative routes where possible.
