Lane closures planned on Lions Gate Bridge for paving work

Drivers heading over the Lions Gate Bridge should expect delays this weekend as paving work takes place on the bridge connecting the City of Vancouver to the North Shore.

Weather permitting, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has scheduled repaving of the north viaduct portion of the Lions Gate Bridge, Friday and Saturday evening.

Paving will result in the following lane closures and traffic diversions:

Friday August 26, 2016

- 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. – one lane open in each direction, with temporary traffic stoppages in both directions.

- 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. – single lane alternating traffic.

Saturday August 27, 2016

- 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. – one lane open in each direction, with temporary traffic stoppages in both directions.

- 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. – single lane alternating traffic.

The ministry says at least one sidewalk on the bridge will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists at all times.

The West Vancouver Police Department is warning motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to use extra caution during lane closures and to respect the safety of the paving crews and traffic control personnel.
