- The Pattullo Bridge will close to all vehicle traffic from 9 p.m. On Friday, May 16, until 5 a.m. On Tuesday, May 20, during the Victoria Day long weekend in Surrey and New Westminster.
- TransLink cites ongoing construction work on the new four-lane bridge, including drainage installation and foundation work for the approaches, as the reason for the closure.
- Equipment needed for excavation and foundation work will be positioned on the bridge lanes, while pedestrian and cyclist access will continue to be available throughout the weekend.
- Drivers are advised to take alternative routes via the Port Mann or Alex Fraser crossings during the closure, while bus routes will be adjusted accordingly. Travelers should also anticipate travel delays of up to 30 minutes due to ongoing construction noise.
- The new Pattullo Bridge connecting Surrey and New Westminster is planned to open by the end of this year, after which the current bridge will be dismantled.
