Halifax Water would like to inform residents that, due to unexpected construction delays, the upgrades at the intersection of Alderney Drive and Dundas Street will open fully to two-way traffic in two stages beginning next week.  

These intersection upgrades are part of the Sawmill Creek Stormwater Project.   

The following traffic control will still be in place:   

  • On Monday, July 14, Alderney Drive between Kings Street and civic #90 Alderney Drive will open fully to two-way traffic. 
  • On Thursday, July 17, Alderney Drive between civic #176 Portland Street and King Street will open to two-way traffic, with lane reductions in place.  
  • This work will continue to impact Halifax Transit routes. For more information about Halifax Transit disruptions, visit halifax.ca/transit.    

  
See map for further details.    
  
Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to manage traffic flows.     
   
Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
