The Pattullo Bridge has reopened Sunday after being closed for the long weekend.

DriveBC says both directions are fully open for traffic between Surrey and New Westminster.

The bridge was initially closed Thursday at 5 a.m. and was supposed to re-open Tuesday, April 11 at 5 a.m.

According to the province, work was being done to “complete soil densification activities,” as well as the relocation of the bridge’s seismic warning system.

It’s all part of the work to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge. The province says it expects the new crossing to open sometime in 2024.
