New Pattullo Bridge Progress ❖ Super B Trucking Life 🇨🇦

[@Linda2]

Happy belated birthday Jess.🎉❤ 🫂

[@naujsgirl]

Thanks :)

[@NomaDairy]

I used to drive that route all the time with my personal pick up and in commercial trucks. In the commercial trucks with or without trailers I took the centre of the lanes no questions asked it’s just safer for everyone. Safe travels! And happy belated birthday!!

[@JuanRempel]

Yea, no need to tempt someone to do something stupid

[@naujsgirl]

Thanks for the belated birthday wishes :)

[@derekhorlock1976]

Oh the joy of commuter traffic through New West and on Marine. Thank goodness that truck route exists though. safe travels.❄️🤙

[@JuanRempel]

It's a lifesaver for sure, but that doesn't make it any less of a pain in the butt.

[@Linda2]

TOOT TOOT HONK

[@Toronto4evr]

Good progress on the bridge so far.

[@JuanRempel]

It's going to be nice when it's done

[@allartvogelesang316]

Yes, the Ironworkers' bridge is the new name for what we used to call the 2nd narrows bridge over the ocean inlet. The first narrows bridge is Lion's gate. Just past the Ironworkers bridge, the ocean inlet turns north up "Indian Arm". There's no road along Indian Arm.

[@mikeschock9225]

I for one can’t wait until the new Pattullo Bridge opens, the replacement has been a long time coming. Thanks for showing me the progress on the new one so I don’t have to cross the old one lol! The new bridge will open with 4 lanes with the provision for 6 lanes. Surrey wants 6 lanes and New West only wants 4. They think there will be too much traffic dumped on their streets. Typical Vancouver! It looks like they are coming along. Hopefully sometime next year is what I heard.

[@JuanRempel]

Yea, for 6 lanes a lot of work needs to be done to improve traffic flow on the existing roads. Just like Alex Fraser needs better flow on both ends.

[@mikeschock9225]

@ they have a counterflow lane on the Alex Fraser now. They have four lanes in the direction of the rush. During non rush times it is 4 lanes south and 3 lanes north

[@JuanRempel]

I point stands, the extra lane is useless because even if the bridge has 4 lanes one direction, as soon as you get off of the bridge you have to merge to 3 lanes.

[@mikeschock9225]

@ heading north the 4 lane to 3 lane thing definitely is a thing. Headed south the far right lane is an exit only lane on to Nordel Way. The southbound merge down to 2 lanes is after the 72nd Ave interchange

[@russallert]

It's interesting to see the railway bridge between the old and new highway bridges. The railway bridge is older than the Pattullo Bridge, and in fact used to have a car deck above the railway track, and that functioned as the first highway bridge between New West and Surrey. So it's ironic to see the old rail bridge outlive the Pattullo.

[@JuanRempel]

That is funny, so for at least a while, there will be 4 bridges, train, old, sky train, and the new bridge.

[@Linda2]

O passed a semi today, my eye level is the top of the semis tyre

[@Linda2]

That red truck is red!

[@GarH56]

Those police cars were RCMP ,New Westminster has it's own police force so it was something else.

[@garthjones3747]

there used to be a scale at the south end of that bridge -

[@JuanRempel]

Really, I didn't know that.

We get a heavy fine and 4 points of our licence. ( we get 12 points for a 3 years) if we are caught using a mobile phone whilst driving. They really clamped down as a lot of accidents where due to the use of them, especially young people. If a P plate driver, use their mobile phone whilst driving they lose their licence. We have little trouble these days with the use of them driving.

[@JuanRempel]

Our fines are just a small ticket, so everyone is still on there phones.

[@GarH56]

For the last 20 years they close the two center lanes on Pattullo Bridge after 10:00 pm..So many deadly accidents because it's so narrow, The BC Liberals refused to replace that bridge for the 17 years they were in office.
