Builders announce new schedule of lane closures starting in mid-March.

Work on the replacement for the Pattullo Bridge between New Westminster and Surrey means that there will be new land closures for about two months.

Construction for the bridge foundations and approach structures in Surrey is underway and will continue through 2022.

Fraser Crossing Partners will be conducting intermittent pile driving for the bridge foundation adjacent to 112 Avenue. A northbound slow-lane closure will be required on the Pattullo Bridge approach while piling is underway due to the proximity of the foundation to the existing bridge and roadway.

To minimize traffic impacts, says a news release, this piling work and the associated northbound lane reduction will take place on weekends for approximately two months starting in mid-March.

The lane closure will be implemented on Saturdays between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. when required.

The lane closure may also take place on occasional weeknights between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Lane closures will only be in effect during active piling work at the location closest to the roadway.  

A northbound slow lane closure will also be required once work begins on the foundation for the new Highway 17 off-ramp. More information will be provided in advance of the start of this work.
