From a document on TransLink's Open Bids page regarding Legal Services for upcoming major projects:
Quote:
The [Pattullo Bridge Replacement] Project would replace the existing Pattullo Bridge with a new four-lane bridge spanning the Fraser River in the general location of the existing bridge. As determined by the Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation, the proposed new bridge will be “a new, four-lane bridge funded primarily by user pricing. The replacement bridge will be designed in a manner so as not to foreclose the consideration of a potential future expansion to six lanes, subject to an all-party agreement and Mayors’ Council approval”. The PBRep Project will also decommission and remove the existing bridge.
The new bridge will be located just north and upstream of the existing bridge and, similar to the existing bridge, its approaches will connect to McBride Boulevard in the City of New Westminster and King George Boulevard in the City of Surrey.
[...]
TransLink proposes to submit its Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate in 2017 to support a thorough and timely review, so that construction can begin in 2019 and the new bridge can be ready for use in 2023 (after which decommissioning and removal of the existing bridge would commence).
[...]
The proposed Pattullo Bridge replacement is expected to open to the public in 2023. This timeline assumes that an application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate would be submitted to BCEAO approximately in 2017. The schedule assumes that, if the Application is successful, an EAC could be granted in early 2018. Project procurement would proceed in fall 2017 and early 2018, contingent on TransLink receiving the necessary funding approvals. Following design and construction, the new bridge would open to traffic in 2023. Demolition of the existing bridge would commence after the new bridge became operational and would be completed in approximately one year.
