Work on the Port Mann/Highway 1 improvement project will require some late night closures to the Coleman on-ramp and Highway 1 westbound during the next several weekends.
Crews have to install 60 m long and 5 m wide girders using large cranes and need access to the work site. The new ramp will connect Lougheed Highway to Highway 1 eastbound and the Mary Hill Bypass, and is one of a number of improvements to the Cape Horn interchange to improve safety, reduce congestion and provide more direct connections between Highway 1 and the surrounding arterial roads.
The following temporary changes will take place to allow the work to proceed.
Jan. 21 to 24 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.: The westbound on-ramp at Coleman Avenue will be temporarily closed and drivers will have to use the Brunette Avenue on-ramp to access Highway 1.
Also, there will be two 20-minute stoppages each night for Highway 1 westbound traffic between midnight and 4 a.m. The stoppages will allow workers to transport the girders for the new ramp and lift them into place.
Feb. 4 to 7, 11 to 14 and 18-21, and March 4 to 7: Beginning on Friday night for each of these weekends, the Highway 1 westbound on-ramp at Coleman Avenue from Lougheed Highway will be closed from 9 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and to 9 a.m. on Sunday. There will also be two 20-minute stoppages of Highway 1 westbound traffic each night.
