"Summer Road Repairs Impact Traffic Across Nova Scotia"

With summer in the swing across Nova Scotia, so are repairs and renovations to highways and roadways

As summer progresses across Nova Scotia, road repairs and renovations are actively taking place on highways and roadways throughout the province. Currently, several lane closures are implemented for road maintenance, with some areas being restricted to a single lane and others alternating lanes over the coming weeks.

Halifax Regional Municipality: A significant construction project is set to commence on Highway 103 in Beechville, starting from August 16 at 7:00 p.m. The work will involve alternating lane closures near the CNR overpass, extending west to exit 3, and bridge work will be ongoing most nights until August 31.

Additionally, both Springfield Drive and Lady Slipper Crescent are reduced to one lane until August 31 due to roadwork. Traffic control will be present in the area, and drivers can anticipate delays from Monday to Friday, during daylight hours.

Lunenburg County: On Highway 103, lane closures are occurring near exit 6 extending four kilometers west of exit 7 for blasting operations as part of a large upgrade project scheduled to continue until May 2027. Lane closures will occur during most weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for approximately 10 minutes at a time, affecting both eastbound and westbound traffic.

Additionally, Upper Branch Road remains closed until mid-September between Levi Hebb and Auburndale roads due to bridge repairs, with detour signs in place for motorists.

Hants County: Major construction is taking place on Highway 102 in Enfield, where the highway will be reduced to one lane in both directions for median construction between exits 7 and 8. This reduction in lanes will persist all day until October 31.

Furthermore, Robinson Road has reduced lanes until late October between Meadow Drive and Mill Village Road, with road repairs underway during the week from sunrise to sunset. Lastly, alternating lane closures on Trunk 14 will occur until August 31 near Smeltzer Road leading toward Windsor.
