Macdonald Bridge will be closed this weekend
The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge in Nova Scotia is set to undergo a weekend closure in order to facilitate essential maintenance work as part of a major project aimed at extending the lifespan of the structure. The closure is scheduled to take place from Friday, April 25, at 7 p.m. until Monday, April 28, at 5:30 a.m.
During this closure period, access to the bridge will be restricted for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. The sidewalk and bike lane on the bridge will not be accessible, prompting Halifax Harbour Bridges to provide bus tickets to affected individuals at their operations center in the administration building on the Dartmouth side, as well as from traffic control on the Halifax side.
While the closure is currently only scheduled for this weekend, Halifax Harbour Bridges has not ruled out the possibility of additional closures in the future. As a result of the ongoing maintenance work, traffic delays are expected, and bridge users are advised to plan alternate routes and allow for extra travel time.
The $70-million project aims to ensure the long-term structural integrity of the Macdonald Bridge, a vital transportation link in the region. The closure this weekend is a necessary step in the ongoing efforts to maintain the safety and functionality of this important infrastructure.
