CBC Halifax @ 5:30 reported they have learned this should all be open this Friday if all goes well.

I can confirm, after haven driven through it, the the whole thing is now open for your driving, cycling and walking pleasure!

They've finally removed those irritating cones people have been ignoring for months.

Let's start a pool on when the first accident occurs at one of the gawdawful roundabouts. I got Saturday afternoon, the 16th.

Now that is unrealistic!

Armdale doesn't even have accidents everyday and it handles multiple times more vehicles and pedestrians then these new ones likely ever will. Also these have fewer confict points than Armdale and standard interchange intersections.

I'd put the first accident in about a month because of the nearby highway. Some driver will probably not slow down enough on the off-ramp to merge into the circle correctly.

Personally I can't wait to get back home and test these roundabouts out.

I'm looking forward to using the new overpass/round about when I come home for Christmas. It will make it much easier for my mom to pick me up, since she just moved to the condo's in Royal Hemlocks since selling the house I grew up in.

I was just on this tonight. Drove around it on both sides, then went back on the 102. Seen quite a few other cars going on it to 'test' it out as well.

It's not to bad.

Interesting choice of music.
And by interesting I mean absolutely horrible. I hate shitty remixes of good songs

Lol next time I take a video I'll remember to play some older music ... say good old rock and roll.
