Cogswell District Redevelopment Project

Scope

Demolition, site work and paving for a civil project in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Completed plans call for the demolition of a road / highway; and for site work for a road / highway. The Cogswell District Redevelopment is a city-building initiative intended to transform the Cogswell interchange from an underutilized piece of road infrastructure into a new vibrant urban neighborhood in the heart of the downtown. Redevelopment of the Cogswell Interchange site will better connect our communities and strengthen the downtown core -a benefit that will be felt throughout the entire region. The proposed plan will convert 22 acres of road infrastructure into a mixed-use neighborhood, extending the entrance of the downtown northwards and reuniting communities separated by the interchange lands. The urban street grid will be reinstated and create development blocks capable of supporting new residential and commercial environments for 2500 people. High quality dedicated cycling lanes, multi-use trails, new parks and open spaces, a re-imagined transit hub, and a significant central urban square transforms this traffic-centric area into a livable pedestrian friendly area for people to live, work, and play. TIMELINE: Tender from general contractors was awarded in September, 2021. Construction will begin in winter 2022.
