Macdonald Bridge to close Sunday for race, Bridgewalk event

The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge will close for several hours this Sunday for two community events.

The MACPASS Miles race will start on the Halifax side of the bridge at 9 a.m.

Halifax Harbour Bridges says this year marks the final MACPASS Miles event. After that, the name will be retired and a new event will launch next year.

After the race, this year’s Bridgewalk event will be held.

People are invited to walk on the bridge, enjoy live entertainment and food and have the opportunity to meet with local community groups.

The free, family-friendly event kicks off at 2 p.m. and wraps up at 4 p.m.

The bridge will be closed to vehicles from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday to accommodate both events.

Pedestrians and cyclists are not affected by the closure.
