On Saturday, November 8 (weather dependent), the following traffic impacts will be in place for wastewater system maintenance:
- From 7:00 AM to approximately 12:00 PM there will be stop-and-go traffic on Glendale Drive near the intersection with Pinehill Drive, Lower Sackville.
- From 10:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM there will be stop-and-go traffic near 95 Tamarack Circle, Lower Sackville.
- From 10:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM there will be a lane reduction on Metropolitan Avenue at the intersection with Glendale Drive, Lower Sackville.
This work will not impact Halifax Water services in the area.
Clean Water Works, on behalf of Halifax Water, will be undertaking wastewater system maintenance through cure-in-place-pipe (CIPP) trenchless lining technology.
CIPP lining involves reinforcing the inside of ageing underground pipes with a fabric liner that is saturated with resin and then cured using UV light or steam. This process is significantly less intrusive to traffic than traditional open-trench excavations for pipe replacement work that would otherwise need to be done.
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 necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
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.
