HFX Water is undertaking a emergency watermain repair on Kempt Road (near the Volvo building) Expect delays there (you probably want to avoid the area) #HFXTraffic

Just....you know...absolutely one of the worse traffic mornings I've seen since I started working here There's no way around any of this. Work from home if you can #HFXTraffic

We've got reports of a collision on the St Margaret's Bay Road Not sure where that is - but the SMBR is busy from the Armdale Roundabout all the way to the Prospect Road #HFXTraffic

Listener Christine reports a collision on the Macdonald Bridge, HFX-Bound, as soon as you get on the Bridge... It's already looking pretty backed up... You might wanna take the Mackay (but the back-ups near the WSX are just starting right now) #HFXTraffic

052

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This is cleared up At this point - it might be better to hop on the Macdonald to HFX... The Mackay is starting to get backed up with that closure of the Robie Street Ramp #HFXTraffic

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Traffic Map is showing a collision on the Macdonald, HFX-Bound, on the HFX-side. So the Macdonald is busy from one-end-to-the-other... The MacKay is clear for now, but expect that to change soon with the Robie Ramp Closure #HFXTraffic

Huge back-ups to HFX right now The Ramp to Robie Street (off the Mackay) is CLOSED until the end of November - which caused a Big Bottleneck on the Mackay HFX bound Now the Traffic map is showing a collision ON the Mackay *and* on the Circ. Looking for confirmation on either of those #HFXTraffic

Like, we've already got decent size delays already forming on the HFX side of the Mackay. Take the Macdonald to save some time at the moment #HFXTraffic

Hey Traffic Team New Ramp Closure just dropped After you come off the Mackay bridge, on the HFX-side, the Robie Street Exit is CLOSED (until the end of Nov). So you HAVE to go to the WSX or Barrington Street, coming off the Mackay. I suspect that'll form a nasty bottle-neck #HFXTraffic

Collision on HWY 103 inbound (in the exit 5 ramp) That's the exit to the Hammonds Plains Road, near the Tantallon Plaza (Sobeys/Rona/Macdoanlds) Be careful approaching that area #HFXTraffic

Nothing like a packed theatre for a horror movie on a Friday night

Attention #BikeHfx: your ride along Chisholm Ave Extension just got a little bit smoother. The owners of the adjacent apartment complex (for whom this is essentially a driveway) have added asphalt to the existing speed bumps. They are much less jarring by bike now.

The Traffic Map is showing a collision on the Mackay Bridge, HFX BOUND, near the Dartmouth Side Just looking for confirmation on this: if you see an issue there, send us a TXT or VM: 902-222-3802 #HFXTraffic

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

3 early morning collisions in HRM 5:56: Glendale Ave and Cobequid Rd, Lwr Sackville 6:15: North Street, HFX 6:27: Lacewood and Parkland, Clayton Park West #HFXTraffic

The Mainland Common Off-Leash Dog Park will be closed this Thursday and Friday - for 24 hours a day... Or about 2 weeks, if you're a dog

Heads up! The Burn Map is red across the province right now. I suspect this will be the case when the map updates at 2pm novascotia.ca/burnsafe/

031

Looks like a collision on the CIRC near Exit 4N Back-ups are stretching past the Mall - expect delays getting on the MACKAY HFX Bound rn #HFXTRAFFIC

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

There's a collision on the Bedford HWY inbound, just before Bayview. HUGE back-ups forming behind that. Maybe take Dunbrack or HWY 102 to circumvent that #HFXTraffic

042

This caused HUGE back-ups to Dartmouth - but the issue has been cleared up #HFXTraffic

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This issue is cleared up - but there's residual traffic in the area (plus normal, high traffic volume) #HFXTraffic
