Friday, May 11, 2018 (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents and motorists that repair work to the Department of National Defence (DND) retaining wall on Barrington Street (outbound) will resume Sunday, May 13, requiring a new lane configuration over the coming months.

Contractors working on behalf of DND will be stabilizing the retaining wall adjacent to CFB Halifax Dockyard and installing a new concrete sidewalk along the outbound lane of Barrington Stre

The outbound curbside lane on Barrington Street between North Street and Niobe Gate Bridge will remain closed day and night for the duration of the project.

A lane configuration change will be implemented for Barrington Street between Niobe Gate and North Street, including both intersections (please see attached image):

Barrington Street Outbound : at North Street there will be one dedicated right turn lane, one through lane and one dedicated left turn lane. Past North Street, the curb-side lane will be closed with jersey barriers. The remaining outbound lane will not be narrowed.

Barrington Street Inbound : at Niobe Gate there will be one through lane and one dedicated left turn lane. Past Niobe Gate, the curb-side lane will remain a through lane and the left lane will be a left turn only lane at North Street into the CFB Halifax Dockyard.

The project is scheduled to finish this fall.

The municipality appreciates your patience while this work is underway.
