I read in the paper that the city told them the could close the roads under it for two weekends, and they will be working 24 hours a day for both weekends. Should be nice for residents in the area.

Dartmouth, NS – The Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission (HDBC) wishes to advise motorists of the following ramp closures for the weekends of February 20 to 23 and February 27 to March 2, 2009.

From 7:00 pm Friday, February 20 until 5:30 am Monday, February 23 and again from 7:00 pm Friday, February 27 until 5:30 am Monday, March 2 the MacKay Bridge Barrington Street exit and entrance ramps will be closed. During this time the Windsor/Robie to Barrington ramp will also be closed.

The closures are required to allow for the safe removal of Structure 9 (also known as the old K-ramp) from the Halifax side of the MacKay Bridge.

These closures are being done on the weekend to minimize disruption to the travelling public. Traffic will be detoured during the closures. Please note that in the case weather prevents work on one of these weekends, the alternate date will be the weekend of March 6 to 9, 2009.

The Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission is the forward thinking manager of key transportation infrastructure assets in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Its mission is to provide safe, efficient and reliable passage at an appropriate cost.
