Various callers are reporting a 3-car-collision on the Mackay Bridge, HFX-Bound.
That's in the Left-Hand-Lane, near the former tolls.
Right now, the CIRC to HFX is backed up to the Mall.
And we're starting to see delays getting to Dartmouth as well.

#hfxws Mixed bag of slippery-ness. Had to detour my run to the COLT as I couldn’t get consistent traction on sidewalks. I was surprised at the amount of cyclists who passed me along the trail!
