Traffic Delays at Main Street and Montague Road

(Thursday, September 28/06)-- Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution when travelling near the intersection of Main Street and Montague Road in Dartmouth.

Construction crews are upgrading the traffic signals at that intersection, as well as widening Main Street to accommodate a fifth lane for turning. As a result, the existing outbound left-hand lane must temporarily accommodate both traffic moving forward, as well as those vehicles wanting to turn left onto the Montague Road.

Construction work is expected to be completed in about three weeks. In the meantime, HRM urges motorists to choose another travel route, if possible.

HRM apologises for any inconvenience.
