Mostly overcast to start the day, but the sun should move in fairly early. Like on harbour in Wolfville rn

We've got another collision in HRM It's on Glendale Drive, near the Cobequid Road. Even though traffic volume in the city is light - we have decent sized back-ups on Glendale, bc of that collision #HFXTraffic

Not many vehicles on the road - but we do have a collision on Robie, near the Cogswell/Bell Rd/Quinpool intersection #HFXTraffic

Back-ups around this are getting quite bad... Many folks taking the 103 into the city are avoiding the 102, and taking the SMBR - so the SMBR is EXTREMELY busy. But we also have BIG back-ups on HWY 102 inbound and on the ramp from the 103 to the 102 #HFXTraffic

Matt Brand @mattbcbc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
The Traffic Map is showing a collision on HWY 102 inbound This is BEFORE exit Zero And it does look like back-ups are forming behind that. Just looking for confirmation on this: 902-222-3802 to call our traffic line #HFXTraffic

There's a collision on Wyse Road near the Macdonald Bridge Based on the traffic map, it looks like traffic is SLOWLY getting by (or not getting by at all) bc traffic on the Bridge itself is very light. The Mackay is the bridge to take - (the circ/hwy 111 isn't slammed yet) #HFXTraffic

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

Never thought I'd use the term "hellish landscape" on the radio to describe traffic, but here we are.

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

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
