Halifax Water says there will be traffic delays on the busy Bayers Road today as crews work to repair a sinkhole in the area.

In a post last night, the utility said it would be working in the 6700 block of Bayers Road, in the outbound lanes between Connaught Avenue and Romans Avenue, to make the repairs.

Halifax Water says there will be a lane reduction in the work zone, with two-way traffic maintained. The sidewalk in that area will remain open.

The utility says the work will slow traffic and is asking motorists to consider alternate routes.
