Starting the week of April 19, for approximately five months, traffic on Lougheed Highway will be reduced to one lane in each direction near the Kensington Avenue overpass to allow for sewer construction on the south side of the highway, according to Metro Vancouver.
A cycling lane for eastbound cyclists will be provided next to the construction zone. This traffic pattern will be in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the duration of the work. Crews will work to complete construction and restore the highway as quickly as possible to limit the impact to commuters.
The traffic pattern on Winston Street between Lougheed Highway and Bainbridge Avenue will stay the same as it has been for the past several months, including:
• No right hand turns onto Winston Street from Lougheed Highway eastbound
• Southbound-only traffic on Winston Street from south of the Sperling SkyTrain Station to Bainbridge Avenue
• A temporary detour route along Bainbridge Avenue
Work Hours
Work will generally occur from Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., and Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. There may be times when crews will be required to work outside of these hours to complete specific tasks and/or to stay on schedule. All work will comply with City of Burnaby bylaws or granted bylaw variances.
