On May 8, Fraser Crossing Partners (FCP) will be conducting utility investigation work where the Royal Avenue on-ramp intersects with the Bridge Connector.
This work will take place during an existing closure of the Royal Avenue on-ramp being implemented by TransLink between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
On two different evenings between May 16 and 27, FCP will temporarily close the Royal Avenue on-ramp for approximately two hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. to conduct additional utility investigation work. When the Royal Avenue on-ramp is closed, drivers will be directed to use the Columbia Street loop-ramp via McBride Boulevard. Detour signage will be in place.
Drivers travelling southbound on the Bridge Connector will also notice construction activities where the Royal Avenue on-ramp and Bridge Connector merge. Drivers are asked to obey speed limits and instructions of traffic control personnel.
One-hour extension of the daily Columbia Street loop-ramp closure
On select evenings between May 16 and 27, FCP will be conducting utility investigation work within the Columbia Street loop-ramp. To accommodate this work, FCP will extend the daily 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. closure by one hour, such that the loop-ramp will be closed to traffic until 7 p.m.
During the loop-ramp closure from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., drivers travelling westbound on Columbia Street will be detoured to use the Royal Avenue on-ramp. Trucks are asked to follow detour signs and use Braid Street. Access will be maintained for pedestrians and cyclists using the BC Parkway and Central Valley Greenway to access the Pattullo Bridge.
