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.

Date closure begins	Time	Direction closed
Friday, June 24	10 p.m. – 5 a.m.	Northbound (towards New Westminster); all lanes on Bridge Connector

Pattullo Bridge users travelling to New Westminster are encouraged to take the Port Mann or Alex Fraser bridges. Northbound N19 NightBus trips will be rerouted over the Alex Fraser and Queensborough bridges during the closures. Affected customers should plan for an additional 30 minutes of travel time.

Southbound lanes on the Pattullo Bridge will remain open, but motorists coming from McBride Boulevard will be detoured to the Columbia Street on-ramp. The Royal Avenue on-ramp will remain open.

We thank bridge users and neighbours for their patience during these times.
