A section of Herring Cove Road is shut down on Thursday morning due to a water main break.
Halifax Regional Police are helping to direct traffic around the closure in both directions between Dentith Road and Sussex Street.
They say the issue has caused a large hole in the road.
Drivers can detour via either Sussex Street or Dentith Road to the Old Sambro Road to avoid the closure.
