Bridge Opening

Home Construction Bridge Opening

The new bridge is scheduled to open by Christmas 2025. On opening day, it will connect to King George Boulevard in Surrey and McBride Boulevard in New Westminster. The off-ramp to East Columbia Street in New Westminster will also be open.

Traffic will be switched to the new bridge in phases, to allow for completion of the tie-ins to the roadways on either side. See the maps below for details about the phases.

For current work and traffic impacts, visit the Current Works page

Always check DriveBC.ca for the most current traffic information for Provincial highways.

Phase 1: Pattullo Bridge open, no access from Royal Avenue on-ramp.
Phase 2: Pattullo Bridge closed.
Phase 3: new bridge open, traffic split between both bridges.
Phase 4: traffic switch complete, four lanes of traffic open on the new bridge.

As part of the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project, the Pattullo Bridge will be removed after the new bridge is open. The removal process for the Pattullo Bridge will take approximately two years. Learn more about Pattullo Bridge deconstruction

A local closure of Columbia Street between McBride Boulevard and Elliot Street, for approximately one month, will be required to deconstruct the Pattullo Bridge and build the new Columbia loop-ramp (see local closure map).
