Traffic Advisory – College Street – Wastewater System Maintenance
(October 18, 2024) From October 20 to October 23 (weather dependent), Eastern Trenchless, on behalf of Halifax Water, will be undertaking wastewater system maintenance through cure-in-place-pipe (CIPP) trenchless lining technology near College Street, Halifax.
This work will take place from:
· 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on October 20 and October 21.
· 7:00 AM on October 22 to 7:00 PM on October 23. Please note this is a continuous 36-hour work period.
Traffic Impacts for the duration of this work:
· There will be a lane reduction on Spring Garden Road at the Intersection of Summer Street, Halifax,
· There will be a lane reduction on College Street between Summer Street and Cathedral Lane, Halifax.
· There will be stop-and-go traffic on Cathedral Lane at the intersection of College Street, Halifax.
CIPP lining involves reinforcing the inside of ageing underground pipes with a fabric liner that is saturated with a resin and then cured using UV light or steam. This process is significantly less intrusive to traffic than traditional open-trench excavations for pipe replacement work that would otherwise need to be done.
Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
To ensure the safety of our communities and our staff, please maintain a safe distance when Halifax Water staff or contractors are working in your area.
