Public input wanted on what will go between lanes at MacDonald Bridge

By Caitlin Snow May 29, 2025 | 9:34 AM

Your input is wanted on the next phase of removing the tolls at the MacDonald Bridge.

Halifax Harbour Bridges says there is now a large, cleared area between the traffic lanes where the toll plaza used to be, and they want ideas on what should go there.

In a news release from HHB, Maintenance Manager Bernard Gardiner says, “We’re looking for fiscally responsible, low-maintenance ideas that bring visual appeal to this central piece of infrastructure.”

“Think clock, fountain or a rock garden – not picnic tables or interactive installations, given the live traffic environment.”

There is a drop in June 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. at HHB headquarters on 125 Wyse Road in Dartmouth, where there will be conversation and snacks.
