 In February of 2018, the Government of British Columbia announced its plans to replace the Pattullo Bridge, a key crossing between Surrey and New Westminster. The new four lane crossing is being built to modern safety standards and features wider lanes to better accommodate passenger and commercial vehicles, a centre median barrier, dedicated multi-use pathways for walking and cycling that are separated from traffic on both sides of the bridge and is designed to accommodate potential future expansion to six lanes. The new bridge will be located just upstream and northeast of the existing bridge and will include new on and off ramps to connect the new bridge with the existing road network. Major construction is underway. In-river, construction is underway on the bridge tower, and work is also underway to build the second in-river foundation. In New Westminster and Surrey, bridge foundation construction, utility relocations and roadworks are underway.
