The Pattullo Bridge is a key connection between the communities of Surrey and New Westminster.

The new four-lane toll-free bridge will provide important improvements for everyone using the bridge, including people who are driving, cycling or walking, as well as communities on either side of the bridge, including:

A safer crossing for all bridge users with modern, wider lanes, separated by a centre median barrier
Dedicated walking and cycling lanes, separated from traffic by a barrier on both sides of the bridge
Better connections to, from and near the bridge

The new bridge is scheduled to open in fall 2023. The existing bridge will remain in use until the new bridge is open to traffic. Once the new bridge is open, the existing bridge will be removed.

Geotechnical investigations and other work to gather information within the Project area in New Westminster and Surrey began this spring. It is anticipated that bridge foundation construction will start in fall 2020.

Transportation Investment Corporation, a provincial Crown corporation, is delivering and overseeing this $1.377 billion project. The Project will be delivered under B.C.’s Community Benefits Agreement and the project workforce will be provided by B.C. Infrastructure Benefits.

Fraser Crossing Partners has been awarded the contract to design and build the new bridge.

The Province will own and maintain the new bridge when complete.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
