Project Overview
Following a road safety review of the Princess Street corridor, the City of New Westminster is implementing improvements to enhance safety for people walking and driving.
Traffic Impacts
Access to the mall parking, loading zone, and the residential buildings will be maintained, however, intermittent disruptions may occur throughout the construction period.
Traffic control measures will be in place on Princess Street. Users may experience changes to traffic patterns and occasional delays during median construction and pavement marking operations.
- One-way road from Eighth Street to Sixth Street. The entrance to the mall parking lot may be closed for a couple of days due to concrete demolition. Traffic will be affected during the construction of the new curbs, concrete median, raised crosswalk, and associated curb let-downs.
- Temporary lane closures may be required during working hours. All users are advised to expect delays and allow extra travel time.
- To reduce the impact on the public, signs will be provided to direct users, and traffic control personnel will be on site to assist. The contractor will coordinate construction activities to minimize disruptions wherever possible.
Construction Schedule
Construction is scheduled to take place from August 17 to November 2026. The construction timeline has been extended due to necessary regrading and paving of the mall access area.
Hours of Work:
- Monday to Friday: 7:00 am to 5:00 pm
- Saturdays: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
