The Pattullo Bridge will be closed to traffic in both directions during the Easter long weekend to allow for construction work being conducted by the Province, TransLink has announced.
TransLink said the closure is necessary to complete work including soil densification activities, paving, and relocation of the seismic warning system. The warning system will be temporarily disconnected during this time and must be completed with no traffic on the bridge, to ensure the safety of motorists.
TransLink will also be conducting bridge work during this period, including speed sign relocation, line painting, concrete patching, and inspections requiring rope access onto the overhead bridge truss.
To ensure this work is conducted safely, a full Pattullo Bridge closure will be in place from Thursday, April 6 at 10:00 p.m. until Tuesday, April 11 at 5:00 a.m. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians, cyclists, and first responders at all times.
Pattullo Bridge users are encouraged to take the Port Mann or Alex Fraser bridges as alternatives. Customers should plan for up to 30 minutes of additional travel time.
