Time: Weekdays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with occasional weekend work.
Work details: This work is to install underground infrastructure in the vicinity of 1919 Upper Water Street (Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel) in support of the Cogswell District project.

Traffic impact: The center line of the four lanes running north-south on Barrington Street through the Cogswell District will be altered so traffic will be diverted to the southbound lanes for bi-directional traffic. The northbound lanes will be closed to install underground infrastructure. One lane of bi-directional traffic will be maintained. Signs will direct traffic through the area. Motorists should expect delays. –
