Third Harbour Crossing

[something_witty]

A lot of the issue with capacity on the McDonald is when heading to Halifax from Dartmouth. 5 toll gates are supposed to merge into 1, or 2 lanes depending on the day. Another thing is you have to pick your lane to plan your exit, because if you chose the left lane, and you decide you want to take the Barrington exit, good luck. No one will let you in.
I'm looking out my office window now and both lanes are backed all the way up to the toll gates. Nothing moving, probably another accident.

A reason that I would use the McKay coming from Cole Harbour is that it's very straightforward. You get on the highway, pass through the toll, cross the bridge and pick your exit. If I was to take the Circ and take the McDonald, you have to exit at Woodland, turn left on Victoria, turn right down Nantucket, and it feels like it takes so much longer than if you were to just keep on the highway.
