SURREY – It will take a bit longer for the new Pattullo Bridge to be ready, with the latest update suggesting the project has been delayed.

The completion date for the replacement of the crossing between Surrey and New Westminster has been pushed to 2024.

A progress update from the B.C. government says on-site investigative work, permitting processes, and challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic have set back the 2023 opening date.

However, the province says the $1.37-billion project over the Fraser River remains on budget.

While work on the bridge continues on land, the in-river work is paused to protect fish and fish habitat in line with regulations.
