Commuters in Port Coquitlam are advised to use the Coast Meridian overpass or Fremont Street this week to get to the Mary Hill bypass.
Starting Thursday, the Lougheed Highway off-ramp — across from Fremont Village — will be closed for at least 24 hours to repair a water main that burst last month.
The break caused a massive hole in the pavement, which prompted the city to close the exit until it was temporarily patched up and safe to travel on.
The ministry of transportation's contractor, Main Roads, will be onsite Thursday and Friday to close the road again and detour traffic on behalf of the city.
The city's water supply won't be impacted though some residents south of Lougheed — in the Citadel and Mary Hill neighbourhoods — may see minor changes in water pressure in the morning and evening.
Call the city's operations centre at 604-927-5496 or email [email protected] for more information. For after-hour emergencies, call 604-543-6700.
