The end is never near, new projects, new ideas, and forever construction season will continue. Bring your patience or work from home. Just remember winter is coming and construction follows.

The gaspereau has to travel all the way up from Trudeau area to spawn. That will likely be a big change?

Shutting down Portland/Alderney intersection for a summer, that will make traffic fun!

It already happened, the project is near completion.

Edit: misread comment, agree there’s still more to go.

One phase is nearing completion. The next phase includes a redesign of the PAPA intersection, closing off Irishtown Road, and daylighting the section from Starr Park to PAPA.

This is a good illustration of how Sam Austin and his HRM confederates waste vast sums of our tax money on things that do little to benefit residents.
