Thank you all for your patience while the Macdonald Bridge was closed over the weekend.

The bridge is back open, and the new overhead sign is looking great. 👏🎉

Work continued through the night on the Macdonald Bridge, with crews removing the scaffolding platform and making progress on the new overhead lane control system.

The beam is down, and the first new sign is getting ready to go up on Gantry 1. 👷‍♂️

Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and take time to reflect, learn, and remember.

Halifax Harbour Bridges operates in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

Today is an important reminder of the ongoing responsibility to listen, learn, and support the work of reconciliation. 🧡

It is Go By Bike Month! 🚲🎉

Led by Halifax Cycling Coalition, it is all about encouraging more people to choose a bike for everyday trips.

Whether it is your commute, a quick errand, or getting to an appointment, even swapping one car trip for a bike ride is a great place to start.

We are happy to support the campaign and encourage more active transportation across our region.

So, if you have been looking for a reason to dust off your bike, this might be it. 👟🚴🏻‍♂️
