COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) – Big changes are coming for westbound traffic on the Port Mann Bridge this weekend.
Full lane-separation takes effect Saturday, meaning two lanes on the bridge bound for Lougheed Highway will be split from three through-lanes using concrete barriers.
An interim system has been in place for a few weeks now, but the changes mean you’ll have to decide in Surrey whether you’ll exit for Coquitlam or continue on Highway 1 toward Burnaby and Vancouver.
Similar changes for eastbound traffic are planned in the coming weeks, as crews prepare the crossing for its full 10-lane configuration. HOV drivers needing to access Lougheed Highway will need to move to the far right well before the 152nd Street interchange.
