Traffic disruptions near QEII Halifax Infirmary beginning August 6

Nova Scotia Health advises people travelling to the QEII Halifax Infirmary and other Nova Scotia Health services in the area to plan extra travel time due to the closure of Bell Road between Robie Street and Summer Street.

From August 6 to August 30, this section of Bell Road will be closed to public vehicles, and bike lanes will also be inaccessible. Pedestrians will be rerouted as the sidewalks along that section of Bell Road will also be closed. Signage will be in place to indicate diverted routes.

Traffic control personnel will be present to assist with traffic flow, and detour signage will be in place to direct alternate routes.

This closure is necessary to connect the QEII Halifax Infirmary redevelopment site to new water and sewer services.

A map showing the affected area of Bell Road is included below for your reference.

Nova Scotia Health recognizes closing a section of Bell Road will cause traffic disruptions and appreciates your patience while this work is underway.
