Dartmouth-bound lanes on MacKay Bridge to close Thursday night
Halifax Harbour Bridges (HHB) says all lanes heading towards Dartmouth, N.S., on the MacKay Bridge will be closed overnight Thursday.
A news release from HHB just after 3:30 p.m. Thursday says all Dartmouth-bound lanes will be closed overnight between 7 p.m. Thursday and 5:30 a.m. Friday. The lanes travelling from Dartmouth to Halifax will remain open.
'The overnight closure will accommodate bearing replacement work delayed last summer, and work associated with the continual removal of the MacKay toll plaza,' reads the news release.
Macdonald bridge closure this weekend
The Macdonald Bridge in Halifax will be closed to vehicles this weekend as crews continue work to extend the life of the structure.
HHB says the bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic from 7 p.m. Friday to 5:30 a.m. Monday. It will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.
The work is part of Project LifeSpan, a two-year, $70-million effort that will strip the paint from the bridge's towers to allow for inspection and repairs.
The Dartmouth Tower is set to be finished later this year while the Halifax Tower is slated to be done in 2026

The Macdonald Bridge in Halifax is pictured. (Jonathan MacInnis/CTV Atlantic) Since the removal of the toll booths on the Macdonald Bridge, there has been an uptick in commercial vehicles weighing more than the legal limit making the crossing, according to the Halifax Harbour Bridges (HHB).

'This isn't just a traffic violation — it's about protecting the bridge for everyone's safety and its long-term lifespan,' the post reads. 'Please respect the weight restrictions and help us preserve the bridge.' For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
