Night-time Utility Relocation Work on Lougheed Highway near Pinetree Way
As part of construction for the Evergreen Line, there will be some night-time utility relocation work on Lougheed Highway near Pinetree Way and within the Coquitlam Centre parking lot starting the week of October 7. This work is in preparation for construction of the elevated guideway.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The night-time work is required due to high volumes of daytime traffic on Pinetree Way and Lougheed Highway and to minimize disruption to mall patrons.
This work will take place from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for approximately two weeks. Every effort will be made to minimize noise and disruptions.
Night-time noise related to saw-cutting and the use of heavy machinery should be expected as part of this work.
Drivers are advised that there will be lane closures on Pinetree Way, Lougheed Highway, and on Lincoln Avenue at the entrance to the mall while this work is underway.
For the safety of all pedestrians, please follow traffic control personnel and posted signs while construction is underway.
When lane closures are in effect, please watch for construction signs, drive with caution, and obey traffic control personnel. A key goal of the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project is to minimize construction-related disruption and maximize traffic flow and predictability during construction activities.
