Cogswell Interchange

Looks like they're starting to tear up the bridge.... or is it an overpass?

Cogswell street now connected to Barrington, incoming and outgoing.

I was at the info session for Portland / Cole Harbour last night and I told the planners they are doing the best they can with a crappy situation (like every North American city it seems), and if people from both sides are bitchin' it must be a good balance.

Since both Halifax Cycling Coalition and the car lobby (as represented here) are bitchin', the Windsor St plan must be a good balance...

Waze had this on the first day, but it seems Apple Maps and Google Maps still don't show the new road configuration. Wonder how long it'll take them.

I just got back from Halifax after watching the Oilers game at my Brothers. Took the new Cogswell street both ways because I am that kind of Geek.
Works very well and other than a funny Jersey Barrier tweek near HMCS Scotian it should be smooth going. Beats the old Barrington bridge which had deteriorated quite a bit in the last year.

That is what happens to structures denied of any maintenance and repair over many years, as HRM did.

The final overpass is being torn quickly. It's going to feel really different down there when the massive concrete wall across from the casino comes down.

Yes it is!



I agree, the transformation will be incredible. That's a lot of dirt/rock to be moved. Hopefully it will be a straight forward job from here.

Looks like they're making quick progress with the demo of the retaining walls in the center of the site now that the final overpass bridge has been demolished. If the earthworks progress smoothly I'd expect we'll see substantial completion of the site and start to get a sense of how it'll all look by the end of this construction season with total completion around this time next year.

It's pretty amazing driving along upper Barrington Street into downtown and being able to see the downtown all opened up before you. This is going to be such a major positive change.
