Metro Vancouver's new st̓al̕əw̓ asəm Bridge, which opened to traffic in late 2024, will be closed this weekend for scheduled maintenance and testing. The closure is expected to last from Saturday, April 25, 2026, through Sunday, April 26, 2026.
During the closure, drivers and cyclists are encouraged to use the Port Mann Bridge or the Alex Fraser Bridge as alternative routes. The st̓al̕əw̓ asəm Bridge, which replaced the aging Pattullo Bridge, is a key crossing connecting Surrey and New Westminster.
Officials have not specified the exact nature of the work but have assured the public that the closure is necessary to ensure the bridge's long-term safety and reliability. The bridge is expected to reopen by Monday morning.
