Main Street Sidewalk Renovation

Details

Published: Friday, 23 June 2023

Starting July 4 until August 2, the sidewalk on Main Street, Bible Hill (between Century Honda and Windsor Avenue) will be closed for construction.

For those with accessibility needs which may be impacted by the closure, please get in touch with the Village office to discuss how we can accommodate.

Traffic Alerts:

Main Street will have a one-way traffic detour which Nova Scotia Department of Public Works has approved. Traffic normally in the lane closest to the sidewalk will be detoured at Pictou Road to Vimy Road and Farnham Road, rejoining Main Street at Park Street.

Signage and other traffic control measures will be in place to guide drivers. Please be cautious when entering the work area, as traffic will be flowing in only one direction.

The contractor will do their best to minimize driveway disruptions and provide gravel ramps for access. Please drive slowly on the ramps.

Avoid parking on Main Street or the detour route to reduce congestion.

For more information or concerns, contact Village of Bible Hill at 902-893-8083 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Thank you for your patience as we improve Main Street!
