Pitt River Bridge (now open) and Mary Hill Interchange

$90 million

The Pitt River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange Project includes a new seven-lane bridge that will replace the existing swing bridges, as well as an interchange to replace the current Lougheed Highway and Mary Hill Bypass intersection.

Pitt River Bridge

It will also connect trade‑related and transportation facilities on both sides of the Pitt River to enhance the flow of international goods through the Lower Mainland. The design incorporates more than $8.5 million in pedestrian and cycling features, including bicycle lanes across the new bridge. The design also allows for one lane to be added in the future. The additional lane could meet future demand for vehicle use or light rail rapid transit and could be used for high-occupancy vehicles and RapidBus in the interim.

The existing intersection at Lougheed Highway and Mary Hill Bypass will be replaced with a grade-separated interchange with on- and off-ramps that would allow for the free flow of traffic. In combination with the new bridge, these improvements will allow for the elimination of the current counterflow system.



All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.

All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
