Current construction information, notifications of upcoming work, including navigational warnings (NAVWARNS) for marine users and businesses located along the Fraser River near the Project area, will be posted to this page throughout the construction of the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project.
Preliminary in-river work on the bridge tower foundation began in February. The in-river work completed last month included placing rock for bridge foundation protection and installing the first piles that will form the foundation for the bridge tower. In-river bridge foundation construction is now paused in accordance with Fisheries and Oceans Canada requirements to minimize impact to fish and fish habitat; this work will resume in the summer.
Other construction activities in 2021 include site preparation, utility relocations and construction of the on-land bridge foundations in New Westminster and Surrey.
