Beginning Friday, January 18th, Atlantic Road Construction & Paving Limited (ARCP), on behalf of Halifax Water, will begin a periodic lane drop on Quinpool Road near the CN Railway-Quinpool Road bridge.
The periodic lane drop and sidewalk closure will take place from 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM in the outbound curb lane of Quinpool Road in the vicinity of MacDonald Street and Armview Avenue (see work zone map). This lane drop is part of preliminary work to install a water and wastewater pipe bridge adjacent to the existing Quinpool Road Bridge and is required to ensure the safety of the travelling public as equipment accesses the site. The work will continue until April.
There will also be temporary closures of sections of Flinn Park. The trail will remain open. At times, for safety during construction, a temporary trail will be in place to divert trail users around the work zone.
Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to ensure smooth traffic flow around the work zone. On-site personnel will also maintain communication with local residents and businesses to help minimize disruption. Motorists can expect delays as materials and equipment access the work site. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
