Icy Conditions reported on HWY 101 inbound before Mt Uniacke (exit 3)

That's causing issues/back-ups on the 101 inbound RN

One caller said there were Emergency Crews on the scene there..

And another caller say it's slick on the ramp from Mt Uniacke to HWY 101 #HFXTraffic

We've got reports of Black Ice in Pictou and Amherst this am.

I'm sure that's the case anywhere that temps around near the freezing mark.

Just be careful if you Driving, walking, or rolling this morning #HFXTraffic

There's a collision on Ridgevale Drive in Bedford

Not exactly sure where - but Ridgevale intersects with the Dartmouth Road - so keep an eye out if you're in the area

With the weather on our side and streets clear of snow, our crews will be out March 9–13, 7 a.m.–5 p.m. across the municipality repairing potholes. You may see rolling stop-and-go traffic and short delays. Work on major corridors will happen outside peak traffic times when possible.

I seem to recall a bunch of smaller potholes on that stretch where the road work is happening. I'll definitely keep an eye out for that on the way home #research

Looks like some sort of collision or issue on the MacKay Bridge ramp to HFX, on the HFX side...

That means delays - you may want to take the Macdonald to HFX at the moment #HFXTraffic

This has been cleared up...

But there have been a number of issues in this exact spot the last couple days

Just keep an eye out for issues in the area

(and if you see ANY reason WHY folks might be having issues on the MacKay Bridge Ramp to Dartmouth, give us a shout: 902-222-3802)

I was saying "temps" on the radio. Someone called to say it was "childish", and it made me sound "stupid"🀣

Looks like a collision on the Ramp to the Mackay, Dartmouth Bound.

Starting to see back-ups forming - but you MIGHT be able to sneak by if you take Massachusetts Ave #HFXTraffic

How do you feel about "temps" as an abbreviation for "temperatures"?

We have various collisions in BOTH DIRECTIONS on HWY 102 near the Airport.

I'd avoid that stretch completely if you can #HFXTraffic
