The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced overnight traffic delays, sidewalk closures, and temporary transit stop shutdowns near the intersection of Gottingen and North streets to accommodate telecommunication utility work scheduled from Nov. 16 to Nov. 17.
The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced that traffic delays and sidewalk closures will affect the intersection of Gottingen and North streets, along with adjacent stretches of both roads, to facilitate telecommunication utility work.
The work is scheduled to take place from 10 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16, to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17. In addition to the intersection itself, the affected areas include Gottingen Street between Uniacke and North streets, as well as North Street between Gottingen and Creighton streets.
Drivers traveling through the area should expect stop-and-go traffic and resulting delays. The municipality is asking motorists to use alternative routes where possible during the overnight work period.
Pedestrians and individuals using mobility devices will encounter sidewalk closures in the work zone. Marked detours will be in place to guide people walking or rolling around the closed sections.
Two local transit stops will also be temporarily closed for the duration of the work: Gottingen Street at North Street (stop 6774) and North Street at Gottingen Street (stop 7347). Transit riders who normally use these stops should plan accordingly.
