First Concrete Pour Scheduled for Oval Site

(November 1, 2011) - The first of four concrete pours at the permanent Oval will take place on Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) wishes to advise residents around the Halifax North Common that due to this work, trucks will be hauling concrete to the site continuously for a period of approximately 16 hours. The work will begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday and could run into the early morning hours of Thursday, November 3rd.

Due to the nature of laying concrete it is essential that each individual segment be poured continuously. The construction of the oval will require three additional concrete pours with similar time requirements during the month of November.

HRM apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
