Your Cogswell traffic nightmare is almost over, my son.

Your Cogswell traffic woes are almost over, my son!

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

Well now, if you've been wondering what old Tommy's been keeping an eye on this past week, it's been all about that big Cogswell Interchange redevelopment, eh? Seems like that project has finally got some wind in its sails, some good news for anyone who’s ever gotten stuck in that mess trying to get downtown for a Wanderers game or to grab a donair from King of Donair on Quinpool.

The talk at City Hall has been nearly all Cogswell, with folks pushing hard to get those plans moving. It sounds like we might actually see some dirt turning soon, which will be a welcome sight, my son.

Here’s a quick look at what’s been happening:

* The redevelopment of the Cogswell Interchange is finally gaining momentum. * City Hall discussions were heavily focused on this project. * The aim is to improve traffic flow and reconnect the city to the waterfront.

It’s a big deal for Halifax, this one. Getting that old overpass torn down and opening up the city centre will be some good for everyone, making it easier to stroll down to the waterfront or hit the shops without feeling like you're stuck in a maze. It’s all about making Halifax even better, buddy.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.
