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.
