(Tuesday, September 23, 2014) – Attention motorists, beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 26, 2014, the intersection of Hammonds Plains Rd. and Kearney Lake Road will be closed to all traffic. 

 

As a result, Hammonds Plains Road will be closed from Kingswood Drive to Bluewater Road, and Kearney Lake Road will be closed from Blue Mountain Drive to Hammonds Plains Road.  Access will be provided for local traffic, but the intersection of Kearney Lake Road and Hammonds Plains Road will not be passable.

 

The road closures are scheduled to remain in effect until 6 a.m., Monday, September 29, 2014.

 

This work, being undertaken by Atlantic Road Construction & Paving on behalf of Halifax Water, is to allow for the replacement of the 1220mm transmission main across Hammonds Plains Road as part of the Pockwock Water Transmission Main Project – Phase 2.

 

Motorists are asked to use alternate routes and a signed detour will be in place. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.

 

Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to assist with traffic flow. On site personnel will also maintain communication with local residents and businesses to help minimize disruption.

 

Halifax Water apologizes for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
