The Government of Nova Scotia has awarded a contract for upgrades to the overpass located directly before Marine Atlantic’s North Sydney terminal property. Both the entrance to our property via the ticket booths and the main exit to the highway will be impacted at different times while work is being completed.
Work is anticipated to start in the coming days. Initially, the work will focus on the lanes exiting the terminal property toward the highway. Traffic moving through the area will be slowed. Drivers are asked to use caution and watch for instruction from workers in the area.
To minimize the impacts to customers who are approaching the ticket booths for check-in, work in this area will be occurring Monday to Friday between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. for several weeks.
During this time, there will be no access for vehicles to check in, including the arrival of drop trailer units. Commercial units picking up drop trailers will still be able to access the property via the security entrance.
