Halifax’s Macdonald Bridge will be closed this weekend, so be prepared for delays if you’re heading to or from Dartmouth.

The decision to close the bridge comes from the need to install the fourth, and final, expansion joint of the Big Lift project.

The Macdonald Bridge will close Fri Aug 25 @7pm and reopen Mon Aug 28 @5:30am to install 4th of 4 expansion joints. The SW/BL will be open.
