Construction work on Dutch Village Road to cause traffic delays in Halifax this summer
The long-planned construction work on Dutch Village Road in Halifax is fully underway this summer, which means drivers can expect delays and detours in the coming months. The Dutch Village Road Complete Streets Functional Plan, which received Halifax council approval in June 2020, seeks to improve safety and address transit gaps in the area. Work officially started in April and it is expected to last until December. Crews are working on the section of road between Bayers Road and Supreme Court from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, which will cause lane reductions, stop-and-go traffic and temporary closures of side streets. From now until Aug. 22, crews will also be working around the clock on the portion of Dutch Village Road between Joseph Howe Drive and Alma Crescent. Due to that work, the road will be closed to southbound traffic between Supreme Court and Bayers Road. The intersections on the west side of Dutch Village Road will also be closed between Supreme and Bayers. Pedestrians will still be able to access the area.
