Check out our latest flyover video! Follow along as we capture the ongoing construction of the Hwy 17 off-ramp and the bridge deck in City of Surrey and City of New Westminster. You can also see that the main span is fully connected to the south approach!

In this photo taken on a sunny day in early May, 44 cable stays are installed on the #PattulloBridgeReplacement! Once complete, the bridge will have a total of 80 cable stays.

Early this month, traffic shifted onto the new westbound Hwy 17 overpass over Old Yale Road in City of Surrey! People travelling under the overpass can see the #PattulloBridgeReplacement Project’s first Indigenous art installation along the northeast side of the new overpass.

To recognize First Nations connections to the #PattulloBridgeReplacement Project area, First Nations artwork is being installed both on and off the new bridge. Soon, artwork will be installed on the lower piers, upper tower and crossbeam! Learn more: ow.ly/8wRM50WbOig

New artwork is embossed into the concrete wall on the NE side of the new Hwy 17/Old Yale Rd overpass in Surrey. Created by Kwantlen First Nation artist q̓ʷɑt̓ic̓ɑ, Phyllis Atkins, it depicts sturgeon & eulachon, 2 Fraser River fish species. Learn more: ow.ly/pPmw50WbOWJ

Check out this cool shot looking toward City of Surrey from the bridge tower! Crews are working to install concrete deck panels on the last steel girder section on this side, called the “end span.” Once deck construction is complete, roadway will be paved on top.

This photo was taken on May 5, looking down from above the bridge tower. Can you spot the circles in the sides of the tower? That is where cable stay connections will be made. The bridge tower is 167 metres tall – that’s 50 flights of stairs for workers to climb to the top!

q̓ʷɑt̓icɑ, Phyllis Atkins, is a Kwantlen First Nation artist. Her artwork is embossed into the concrete wall on the NE side of the Hwy 17/Old Yale Rd overpass in Surrey, visible to people traveling under the new overpass. See the full video & learn more: ow.ly/fcyt50WbPLw

Here’s a close-up view of the “end span” – the final girders installed to connect the bridge deck from Surrey to the bridge tower. At the bottom of this photo, crews are preparing to pour concrete to form the deck surface.

Here’s a close-up look at preparations for pouring the bridge’s median barrier. The new bridge will be a safer crossing for drivers, with wider lanes and a centre median barrier to separate traffic.

Additional northbound closures that were thought to be required are no longer needed. There will be no closures on July 2 and July 3.

First Nations artwork is being integrated into elements both on & off the #PattulloBridgeReplacement. Artworks to be installed in City of New Westminster will be on the theme of traditional & contemporary practices of weaving blankets & basketry. Learn more: ow.ly/pPmw50WbOWJ

Here’s a shot of the north approach in @new_westminster! Precast panels are being installed over Front St. Notice how the steel bridge is wider here? This is for the East Columbia off-ramp, a new direct connection from the bridge to East Columbia St.

In City of Surrey, First Nations artwork is being installed in 2 locations as part of the #PattulloBridgeReplacement. Artwork is already installed on the new Hwy 17/Old Yale Rd overpass, & metal art attachments will soon be installed along King George Blvd.

In this photo, crews install rebar to prepare for a concrete pour on the south side of the bridge deck. Now that deck panels are installed, rebar is installed before concrete is poured over top, connecting all deck components.

Here’s a close-up look at stay cable installation! Stay cables are strong cables that connect to the bridge tower and bridge deck to support the structure. They are made up of metal strands pulled through weather-resistant tubing and anchored into place.

Check out our latest flyover video! Bridge deck panels being installed on the north approach in City of New Westminster can be seen, as well as stay cable installation on either side of the bridge tower! In City of Surrey, crews can be seen working on bridge finishings.

Come find us at Fridays on Front in City of New Westminster! Our team will be at Front Street Mews to chat with you about the #PattulloBridgeReplacement starting at 6pm tonight. See you there! 😊
