The Cogswell Interchange is a multi-level highway interchange in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was built as the first stage of a greater scheme for an elevated freeway, called Harbour Drive, which would have run south through downtown and necessitated demolition of much of the downtown building stock. The plan was halted in the face of significant public opposition, but the Cogswell Interchange remains a visible reminder, occupying a large amount of prime land and posing a barrier to pedestrian movement. As the interchange is functionally obsolete and increasingly expensive to maintain, the municipal government has decided to demolish the interchange and replace it with a more conventional street grid. Halifax Regional Council unanimously approved the 90 per cent design construction plan in February 2019 and directed staff to tender demolition and construction contracts for the redevelopment. Work began on the project in March 2022 and the newly renamed Cogswell District is scheduled to be open to the public by late 2025.

Pier 2 in Halifax, Nova Scotia was operational as an immigration shed from 1895 to 1915. 2.7 million immigrants entered Canada through the shed during this time. In 1895, a fire roared through the building and it was eventually rebuilt in 1911. The new facility was used as a port of departure for Canadian service men during the First World War and suffered damage during the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Pier 21 opened in 1928 closer to the mouth of the Halifax Harbour which led to the closing of Pier 2 as an immigration shed. Today Pier 2's location is occupied by HMCS Scotian — whose address is 2111 Upper Water St, Halifax, Nova Scotia — the naval reserve base which is part of CFB Halifax.
