Queensborough Bridge Renewal Project
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Project - Fall 2027Please be advised that this is a Ministry of Transportation and Transit project. We kindly ask that you direct all questions, comments, or complaints regarding construction activities or traffic management directly to the ministry. For the most current project details, official advisories, and progress photos, please visit the ministry’s website at the following link: www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation-projects/other-transportation-projects/queensboroughbridge
The Queensborough Bridge Renewal Project has officially entered its active construction phase this spring. Crews have begun critical work to enhance the safety, reliability, and structural longevity of this essential Highway 91A crossing. This comprehensive rehabilitation includes resurfacing the bridge deck with a high-performance concrete overlay, replacing aging deck joints, and upgrading the drainage system. These improvements are vital for maintaining a structure that serves nearly 88,000 vehicles daily, ensuring it remains a robust link between New Westminster and Lulu Island for decades to come.
To minimize disruptions for commuters, the majority of the work is being performed during nighttime hours. Motorists should expect lane closures between 9:30 pm and 5:00 am on weekdays, and until 9:00 am on weekends. During these windows, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, and a 3.5-meter width restriction will be in effect for oversized vehicles. While these nightly patterns will continue through the summer before pausing for the winter season in November, pedestrian and cyclist access will remain open throughout the project. We appreciate the community’s patience as we work toward a projected completion in fall 2027.
