Pitt River Bridge

The new $180 million Pitt River Bridge and interchange project began construction in 2006, and is scheduled to be completed by 2009.

The Pitt River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange projects include a new bridge to replace the existing swing bridges, as well as an interchange to replace the existing Lougheed Highway and the Mary Hill Bypass intersection.

The new bridge, to be located between the existing bridges, will have three lanes of westbound traffic and four lanes of eastbound traffic on opening day and provide up to 16 meters of marine clearance. It will also provide facilities for cyclists and pedestrians.  Construction Detours and Delays
