Pattullo Bridge to close for May long weekend

  • The Pattullo Bridge will close to all motor vehicle traffic from 9 p.m. On Friday, May 16 until 5 a.m. On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, allowing only pedestrians and cyclists to cross during the Victoria Day long weekend.
  • The closure results from ongoing construction that requires excavation and foundation work for the new four-lane replacement bridge connecting Surrey and New Westminster.
  • During the closure, construction equipment will occupy the bridge lanes, bus routes will be adjusted to alternative crossings, and drivers are encouraged to cross the river via the nearby Port Mann or Alex Fraser crossings, with possible delays of up to 30 minutes expected.
  • Fraser Crossing Partners announced that excavation work scheduled for the weekend will prevent vehicles from accessing the bridge, and confirmed that the current bridge will stay open until the new crossing is operational later this year.
  • The full closure facilitates critical drainage installation and foundation work, with the replacement bridge projected to open in fall 2025, after which the current bridge will be removed.
