Motorists will need to use Columbia Street to access the Pattullo Bridge in New West tonight.
Fraser Crossing Partners will be repairing lights along the Royal Avenue on-ramp. To complete this work, the Royal Avenue on-ramp will be closed at 10 p.m. for approximately three hours tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 20).
While the work is being done, drivers will be directed to use the Columbia Street loop-ramp via McBride Boulevard to access the Pattullo Bridge.
“Drivers may experience temporary delays resulting from the detour,” said a notice from the Pattullo Bridge replacement team. “We appreciate your patience while this work is underway.”
According to the notice, the on-ramp closure is scheduled at night to minimize traffic impacts. Detour signage will be in place.
