Traffic Advisory – Lady Hammond Road – Wastewater System Maintenance

(October 17, 2024) From 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Friday, October 18 (weather dependent), the following traffic changes will be in place for wastewater system maintenance:

· There will be a lane reduction near the intersection of Lady Hammond Road and Memorial Drive, Halifax. Two-way traffic will be maintained, and Sidewalks will remain open.

· There will be a lane reduction on Massachusetts Avenue, Halifax, under the Lady Hammond Road Bridge.

Eastern Trenchless, on behalf of Halifax Water, will be undertaking wastewater system maintenance through cure-in-place-pipe (CIPP) trenchless lining technology in this area.

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.
