The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge in Halifax, Canada will undergo maintenance work

The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge in Halifax, Canada will undergo maintenance work as part of Project LifeSpan. This project is focused on preserving the bridge's structure and ensuring its longevity. During the specified timeframe, the bridge will be closed to all vehicles from midnight to 5:00 a.m. for two nights each week for a total of three weeks, starting on May 28. The closure is scheduled to facilitate the installation of scaffolding and construction of overhead platforms on the Dartmouth Tower.

The pedestrian walkway and cycling lane will remain open during these overnight closures to allow for non-motorized traffic to cross the harbor. The exact closure schedule for this period is as follows:

1. Wednesday, May 28 to Thursday, May 29

2. Saturday, May 31 to Sunday, June 1

3. Wednesday, June 4 to Thursday, June 5

4. Saturday, June 7 to Sunday, June 8

5. Wednesday, June 11 to Thursday, June 12

6. Saturday, June 14 to Sunday, June 15

These nightly closures are planned to minimize the impact on the daytime commute and allow the work to be completed efficiently and safely. The public is advised to plan their travels accordingly and consider alternative routes or modes of transportation during these times. The project is essential for the maintenance and upkeep of this critical infrastructure.
