Motorists will be able to access Pattullo Bridge earlier than anticipated this Labour Day long weekend.

In July, TransLink announced that the  Pattullo Bridge would be closed to traffic on three weekends this summer for routine maintenance. The final closure was set to be from 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29 to 3 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 1, but the work has been completed ahead of schedule.

According to TransLink, Pattullo Bridge will now reopen at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

TransLink, which owns the Pattullo Bridge, had to close the bridge so crews could repair and repave sections of the concrete deck on the 77-year-old span. During the closures, TransLink took the opportunity to review the condition of the bridge driving surface and make any necessary improvements.
