Ongoing engagement with businesses

The Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project team engages with businesses to provide advance notice of upcoming activities and work collaboratively on measures to support businesses. Outreach occurs in-person or by email or phone call, and businesses can get in touch with project contacts via the dedicated project email address or phone number.

We continue to work with businesses as construction activities progress and look for opportunities to engage throughout the duration of the project. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work as quickly as we can to deliver this project.

If you’re a business owner and you would like to speak to us, see our contact page.

New Westminster business access

  • Approximately six months of Front Street Truck Route closures are required, and will be split into two closures. The first closure will be for approximately four months and will begin on August 31, 2026. This closure is required to construct a retaining wall along Front Street. The second closure is anticipated to start in spring 2027 for Pattullo Bridge deconstruction over Front Street and the railway lines. Timing will be confirmed as deconstruction progresses. Front Street Mews will remain open, and access to downtown New Westminster businesses will be maintained. See below for parking and access map
