The Lucasville Road bridge upgrades project was completed in October 2025.
Project overview
The Halifax Regional Municipality completed infrastructure improvements to the Lucasville Road bridge, located near Hefler Lane. Project work took place during the 2024 and 2025 construction seasons renewing the bridge, ensuring a safer and longer-lasting structure for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Upgrades to the bridge include:
- installing new barriers and a wider sidewalk to improve pedestrian use;
- removal of the expansion joints to reduce future maintenance; and
- repaving of Lucasville Road on the bridge and bridge approaches.
The Lucasville Road bridge upgrade project is a Council-approved investment under the municipality’s Capital Plan. It supports Action 57 of the Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP), which guides investment in active transportation, transit, roadway infrastructure and transportation demand management across the Halifax region. This action focuses on maintaining existing transportation assets in a state of good repair to ensure public safety and long-term efficiency.
Completion of this project also aligns with the goals of the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy, the municipality’s Active Transportation Priorities Plan and the Road Safety Strategy.
