  • Pattullo Bridge northbound lane closures this Friday night

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC —The Pattullo Bridge will only be open to southbound traffic overnight on Friday, June 24 to allow for work being conducted by the Government of British Columbia, as part of the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project.

To ensure this work is completed safely, northbound bridge lane closures, and a full closure of the Bridge Connector under the Royal Avenue overpass in New Westminster will be in place from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians, cyclists, and first responders in both directions at all times.
