Halifax swaps dated interchange for new urban neighbourhood
A new redevelopment on the northern edge of downtown Halifax is transforming an underused stretch of infrastructure by replacing the aging Cogswell Interchange with a vibrant urban district.
In the late 1960s, the Cogswell Interchange was built with the intention of connecting it to a larger freeway around the city’s peninsula. After the overpass was constructed, the freeway was cancelled due to opposition over the demolition of historic buildings required to make room for it.
