Fortunately, the lanes are adjusted to fit the most traffic outbound, inbound commensurate with the evening and morning rush hours. Read more. Samantha L Portsmouth, NH contributions. Surprise, we didn't realize the significance!
The pile-up to get on this bridge which Google maps had us use to get to Halifax was intense! We didn't have the correct change a cad dollar coin because we hadn't looked ahead to see what we would beed for tolls. Our fault. What struck us both as visitors from the USA was the way people behave in traffic. We inadvertently held up the line until a gracious attendant rescued us with change for our bills, and NO ONE beeped or yelled at us.
Welcome to NS, Canada, where people are actually polite in traffic. Not only that but the bottleneck to get on while disorganized was civil. You won't find that in major US cities in the northeast. And I personally apologize to all Canadian visitors who have and are yet to experience out crappy road manners in the Northeast US. So, this is a review to publicly thank and acknowledge the kind manner drivers who patiently tolerate us Mainers and our less civilized fellow drivers in nearby states.
This made our visit even more pleasant. During our next visit I'd like to see this bridge from a harbor cruise tour, and walk it for the view. Site Location: Lat. GPS: Proceed 0. Proceed 1. Keep left to continue onto the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, paying a toll on the Dartmouth side. Plaque Location: Lat. The plaque is located on the east side of the Halifax Harbour Bridges office building at Wyse Road, on the Dartmouth side of the bridge. Description: Philip L. Pratley designed the Angus L.
The bridge, with a main span of m. In the s, the bridge was reconfigured to have three traffic lanes, a pedestrian walkway and a bicycle lane.
The centre lane is reversible to accommodate the morning and afternoon traffic flows. Historic Significance: The bridge is an iconic structure of the Halifax area. Both were designed by Pratley and fabricated and erected by Dominion Bridge.
The main towers are very similar architecturally. The pile-up to get on this bridge which Google maps had us use to get to Halifax was intense!

We dropped in dimes and they didn't register. I'm sure there was a sign, but we didn't see it. Larry C 4, contributions. An efficient method of travel between the two cities. A toll is required. You are not even allowed to walk across this bridge. Much better to go to the MacKay Bridge that is closer to the downtown and offers much better views of the city and harbour.
You can take some nice pictures of the MacDonald Bridge. Probably the best view is from Africville Park. One of two bridges that cross the Bedford Basin connecting Halifax and Dartmouth. Really, no kidding,this is a real bridge crossing water.
The world is full of bridges like this one so don't come and see it. Just use it as needed. It's not even a nice bridge, just a bridge. Hubert J Halifax, Canada 24 contributions. Which Bridge to take to cross over the Halifax Harbour? This bridge is the older of the two bridges over the harbour and will give you a more dramatic view but it is slower going across and can be really clogged during rush hours.
It also tends to be closed for various maintenance jobs throughout the year as it is over 60 years old. Check your smart phone to advise you of closures.
Also there are only 3 lanes total , so this means 2 lanes out of Halifax to Dartmouth from 12 noon to 12 midnight and only one lane going from Dartmouth to Halifax.
Then from 12 midnight to 12 noon there are two lanes to Halifax from Dartmouth and only one lane from Halifax to Dartmouth. This is to aid rush hour commuters. Again check your radio or phone for possible slow downs or accidents on this bridge or your second choice which is The MacKay Bridge, a 4 lane faster moving traffic bridge.
