Time to reroute your way past the Halifax Common.

Street and sidewalk closures begin this Sunday at 7 a.m. as the city starts building its second roundabout in the area.

The newest roundabout will sit at the intersection of North Park, Cogswell, Rainnie, Trollope and Ahern streets.

Due to construction the following streets will be closed:

North Park Street between Cornwallis Street and Cogswell Street

Cogswell Street between North Park Street and Bauer Street

The number 6 bus will detour.

The city says this first phase of closures is expected to last until June.

The city says residents in the area have already been notified of the construction.

"Like the Cunard Street intersection, the intersection at Cogswell needs to be upgraded as it no longer meets national transportation standards," reads a release.

"With five streets feeding into it, the Cogswell intersection suffers from problematic traffic flow, frequent collisions and poor connectivity from street to street."
