Quinpool Road reopens after water main break on Friday

A break in a water main shut down parts of Quinpool Road in Halifax Friday, but the road has since reopened.

Jake Fulton, a spokesperson for Halifax Water, said a water main broke around 4 a.m.

Quinpool Road was closed between Quinn Street and Connaught Avenue, although local traffic was allowed in and sidewalks remained open.

Shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, a news release from Halifax Water said water service had been restored and local traffic would resume around midnight once street restoration work was completed.
