Beginning on Tuesday, August 5th until Thursday, August 7th, Dexter Construction on behalf of Halifax Water will complete an upgrade to the water transmission main along Chebucto Road and Newton Avenue. This upgrade will be completed during the night. Typical nighttime work hours will be 6:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
During this nightwork portion of the project, the following traffic control will be in place:
- Alternating lane closures on Chebucto Road
- Alternating lane closures inbound on Connaught Avenue between Berlin Street and Chebucto Road.
- Sidewalks in the work zone will be closed. Pedestrian traffic will be diverted to the opposite side of the street.
Please note work will continue during the day to complete reinstatement work. For more information on day-time work, please visit Chebucto - Connaught Ave Water System Upgrades | Halifax Water.
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.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The closure is necessary to complete the infrastructure upgrades.
To ensure the safety of our communities and our staff, please maintain a safe distance when Halifax Water staff or contractors are working in your area.
