Summary
The Province of Nova Scotia has issued a Request for Proposals (Tender R2026-B) seeking a qualified consultant to develop a business case for the Halifax Narrows Corridor. The selected consultant will evaluate viable long-term transportation options across the Halifax Harbour narrows, including the future of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge, by completing an overview of the bridge's background and current state, identifying possible crossing options, outlining preliminary design for the preferred crossing, and providing cost estimates, procurement options, and funding strategies. The procurement process and business case development will be overseen by a steering committee composed of staff from Halifax Harbour Bridges, Link Nova Scotia, Halifax Regional Municipality, and the Nova Scotia Department of Public Works.
