The closure will take place on Friday, July 31 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Then, a second closure will take place again on Tuesday, August 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The release indicates that the road should be open through the weekend and Natal Day.

Halifax’s release says that lane drops and stop-and-go traffic blockages will be in place during the work at the aforementioned time. They advise that drivers should expect delays, and if possible, should use alternative routes.
