The Halifax Regional Municipality has won its fight with three insurance companies over who should pay for a diesel oil spill at a transit garage in Dartmouth, N.S.
At the end of January, three companies were invited to bid.
The work involves removing the current interchange and replacing it with new streets, multi-use trails and a bikeway.
The project also involves the creation of parks, a roundabout and a transit hub.
The area will feature a new roundabout near Cornwallis Street. (Halifax Regional Municipality)
Underground utilities will need to be installed, including a district energy system using heat from the wastewater treatment facility.
All the work will be done in phases so traffic can move through the area at all times.
The work could begin this fall.
