Upcoming lane shifts for utility inspections

To prepare for upcoming construction on the Holdom Overpass Project, crews will be carrying out a series of early works between November 19 and November 21, 2024. These activities include accessing manhole covers at various locations within the project area to inspect underground sanitary and storm pipes. As a result, there will be daytime traffic impacts due to lanes being shifted slightly within the existing roadway to avoid work zones at various locations. Crews will not be working at all locations at the same time.

Please drive slowly, use caution, and obey signage and traffic personnel. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

About the Holdom Overpass Project

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is delivering the Holdom Overpass Project in partnership with the City of Burnaby, CN, and the Government of Canada. The new four-lane overpass will extend Holdom Avenue south, over the rail corridor and Still Creek, connecting it with Douglas Road. Once complete, the Holdom Overpass will replace the Douglas Road rail crossing. As a result, there will be improved safety and connections for the Burnaby community, improved emergency response, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of the Burnaby Rail Corridor Improvements Project, the Holdom Overpass will also increase transportation efficiency and trade capacity through the port terminals on the North Shore. The Aecon-Gateway Infrastructure Group Partnership is the Design-Build Contractor for the Holdom Overpass Project.
