Pattullo Bridge fully closed to traffic overnight on Wednesday

THE Pattullo Bridge will be fully closed to traffic overnight on Wednesday, November 15 to allow for work by the Government of British Columbia as part of the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project.

Crews will be updating traffic configurations and completing line painting on the bridge approach in New Westminster and Surrey, requiring full lane closures on the bridge and the Bridge Connector in New Westminster.

To ensure this work is completed safely, the Pattullo Bridge and Bridge Connector will be fully closed to vehicles from Wednesday, November 15 at 8 p.m. to Thursday, November 16 at 5 a.m. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians, cyclists, and first responders at all times.

This work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if required.

Pattullo Bridge users are encouraged to take the Port Mann or Alex Fraser bridges as alternatives. N19 NightBus trips affected by the lane closures will be rerouted over the Alex Fraser and Queensborough bridges between New Westminster and Scott Road stations.

Signage will indicate all traffic pattern changes and traffic control personnel will be on-site. Customers should plan for up to 30 minutes of additional travel time.
