S3E6| Halifax Explosion + Steve Proctor

from Matter of 'Fax Hosted by Podstarter | Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic

In this episode, Alec and James discuss the transition from toll to toll-free bridges in Halifax with Steven Proctor, Communications Manager for Halifax Harbor Bridges. The McDonald Bridge toll plaza was demolished on March 17, 2023, and the Mackay Bridge followed suit. The removal impacted the budget, with the province allocating $85 million for maintenance. The conversation also touches on the history and cultural significance of the bridges, the "Big Lift" project, and the potential for a new bridge.
