NEW WESTMINSTER – The contract for the Patullo Bridge replacement has been awarded, creating good jobs and training opportunities for workers who will help build the toll-free crossing to better connect communities in the Lower Mainland.
“People in Surrey depend on the Patullo Bridge every day, and upgrades to this important piece of infrastructure are long overdue,” said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. “I’m proud that our government has acted quickly on this, getting to work to ensure people in Surrey have a safe, easy, and toll-free commute.”
The bridge will be built to allow for potential future expansion to six lanes. The bridge will also have wider lanes and better connections into Surrey and New Westminster, improving ease of travel on this corridor for locals and commercial vehicles. The design includes dedicated pedestrian and cyclist lanes, separated from traffic, that will improve safety for all road users and encourage active transportation options. Construction will begin in the coming months, and the new bridge is scheduled to open in fall 2023.
