The Bay Street Project continues this week with evening and overnight construction in Antigonish.

The work will be happening on East Main Street between Haley Road and Adam Street.

Traffic control will be in place from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. beginning Sunday, May 31 until the morning of Friday, June 5.

This project was to replace water and waste lines last fall, with curbs and asphalt poured last week which disrupted traffic during daytime hours.

Town officials continue to apologize for the inconvenience and thank residents for their patience as the project wraps up.

Traffic delays will hopefully be minimized to 10 to 15 minutes on Bay Street in Antigonish.

That’s according to Mayor Sean Cameron who’s hoping the roadwork will be done by the end of next week after water and sewer infrastructure were updated last fall.

This follows major delays of up to an hour yesterday when a car stalled and during shift changes at the hospital, according to Cameron.

He tells our newsroom staff are notifying traffic control whenever there are holdups in either direction.

“The night work is now completed. The type of work they’re doing now involves asphalt and concrete, and unfortunately, those plants are only open during the day, so it’s necessary to do that work during the day,” he shares.

Cameron says he’s hoping all the roadwork can wrap up in the area by the end of next week.

Stalled vehicle causes longer delays in Bay Street Project

If you were stuck in traffic Wednesday due to the Bay Street Project, you might have waited a little longer than usual.

The Town of Antigonish says, a stalled vehicle in the construction zone required towing and really slowed things down.

“We know this created real frustration for people trying to get where they needed to be, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience it caused,” says the Town in a Facebook post.

The Town says, as work continues over the coming weeks, there will be days when traffic is slow and getting around will be harder than usual.

“These disruptions are never easy, and we understand the impact they have on daily routines.”

The Bay Street Project is replacing water and sewer lines to support future growth and is happening in phases.

Late last fall it caused significant traffic delays and cost certain businesses thousands of dollars.

To mitigate traffic woes entering the second phase of the project, the Town did some work in the overnight hours but is now back to working during the day.

The Town asks for patience as they work to finish the project.
