MacKay Bridge to close for toll plaza removal this weekend

March 25, 2025

Halifax Harbour Bridges advises that The A. Murray MacKay Bridge will be closed to all traffic from Friday, March 28, at 7:00 p.m. until Monday, March 31, at 5:30 a.m. to allow work to begin on the removal of the toll booth plaza.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and use alternate routes. Drivers of commercial vehicles are reminded they are not permitted to use the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge.

Traffic congestion is expected, and extra travel time may be required to reach destinations.

We appreciate the public’s patience as we take this important step in the transition to a toll-free system.

Further work will be required. Motorists will be advised when dates are finalized.

Please note: This closure is weather-dependent.
