A section of Poirier Street in Coquitlam will be closed this week as FortisBC works to upgrade some of its natural gas lines in the area.
Work began Tuesday and is expected to continue for the rest of the month between Como Lake and Grover avenues, with the roads closed to all but local traffic. Other drivers will have to use a detour on Linton or Schoolhouse streets and residents will not be able to park on the road between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays.
The work is part of a broader plan by Fortis to replace 20 km of natural gas lines in Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver.
Traffic controllers and flaggers will be in place. For more information call 604-592-7494 or email [email protected].
Fortis is also continuing its work on a natural gas line along Mariner Way.
This week, crews will begin construction on the south side of the Save-On-Foods parking lot between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. to minimize disruption to grocery shoppers.
The work will continue until July 14 and access will be available from Austin Avenue and Bromley Street only during this phase of construction.
The work is part of a new connection linking Coquitlam at Como Lake Avenue and Mariner Way with Surrey.
