Motorists are advised that Phase 1 of the Harbour Interceptor Sewer project will start on Monday, June 5. Construction will take place along Harbour Drive from Beck's Cove to Baird's Cove from June to August. Traffic will be restricted on portions of Harbour Drive to east bound traffic only. Access to all parking facilities off Harbour Drive will be maintained.

East bound traffic will be maintained on Harbour Drive while westbound traffic will be detoured.

Westbound traffic that previously used Harbour Drive to access parking/drop-off in the vicinity of the Bowring Building, Atlantic Place and Scotia Centre will be detoured via Water Street and Beck's Cove.

Eastbound and westbound traffic that previously used Harbour Drive as a bypass is encouraged to use an alternate route.

Traffic volumes along other routes will be facilitated by advance signage and improved traffic signals.

Access to all your favorite restaurants, stores and businesses will be uninterrupted during construction. Free parking is available in the City Hall Parking Garage evenings and weekends , except when there is an event at Mile One. Remember, parking meters are free after 6:00 pm weekdays and on weekends and holidays.
