Halifax Water says drivers should expect delays near 1171 Shore Drive in Bedford on Thursday, Nov. 12, while crews repair a hydrant valve. The utility scheduled work to start at 8:30 a.m. Atlantic.
Traffic controllers will alternate traffic through the work zone. Halifax Water advises drivers to use another route where possible and says it expects water service to continue during the repair.
The utility says tap water may temporarily look discoloured during or after the work. If that happens, it advises running a cold tap until the water clears. See Halifax Water’s discoloured-water guidance for details.
