A busy intersection in Halifax is set to reopen this weekend. The municipality says the intersection of Bayers Road and Oxford Street will reopen by the end of the day Sunday. The area closed to traffic on Oct. 14 as part of Phase 2 of the Bayers Road Transit Priority Corridor project. The closure was needed to install an upgraded water transmission main beneath the intersection. Outbound vehicles are currently following a detour around that section of Bayers Road between Windsor Street and Connaught Avenue – the same route as the existing inbound detour. The area was originally set to reopen on Nov. 11 but “unfavourable weather” affected construction. The municipality says that work is almost done, however construction efforts continue elsewhere along the corridor. Two-way traffic on Bayers Road is expected to be restored in mid-December. Traffic impacts are expected to continue throughout the duration of the project. Phase 2 began in August and is expected to continue for two years.
