Dedicated transit-only bus lane opens on Bayers Road

The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that a dedicated transit-only bus lane will open on Bayers Road, between Windsor Street and Connolly Street, on Thursday, May 26.

The new, transit-only lane will operate in the outbound direction (north side of Bayers Road) on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. This interim transit priority measure will improve transit operations along this corridor, as part of the Bayers Road Transit Priority Corridor.

Residents are advised that parking on the north side of Bayers Road will not be permitted on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and left turns from Bayers Road to Oxford Street will be restricted during the same period. No new construction is required for this initiative, and on-street parking in the inbound direction (south side of Bayers Road) will not be impacted.

Halifax Transit routes 1, 330, and 194 will be rerouted to travel on this new lane. Visit halifax.ca/servicechangesfor more information on bus route changes.
