Halifax Water issued an advisory for residents and cyclists on Oct. 19 about the work, which will take place beginning on Oct. 23.

The section between 32 and 45 Foster Avenue will be closed for the work.

“This critical stormwater infrastructure, which enables water to flow beneath Foster Avenue, was damaged during the extreme rain and flooding this past July,” said Halifax Water in a release.
