Active Transportation Access
The stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge includes dedicated walking and cycling lanes, separated from traffic by a barrier on both sides of the bridge deck, and better connections to, from and near the bridge.
How to Cross the Fraser River
The multi-use paths (MUPs) on the east and west sides of the stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge are open to pedestrians and cyclists. The east MUP connects to multi-use paths and sidewalks in New Westminster via the Columbia Street overpass, while the west MUP connects to the bridge from the Central Valley Greenway and Agnes Street. Construction of the remaining MUP network (orange sections in the images below) as well as finishing work on the east and west MUPs is ongoing, so please watch for crews and equipment when you are using these paths.
Cyclists using the east MUP to cross the stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge are required to dismount on the bridge approach, as the path is temporarily narrower while work continues to widen the south approach in this location.
The MUP on the west side of the stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge connects to King George Boulevard in Surrey, and existing bike routes in the area. The connections to Highway 17 and Bridge Road are expected to be completed later this year.
