What upgrades to Mary HIll Bypass are being planned that would complement the Coast Meridian Overpass project?
The Provincial Government’s Gateway Program includes several projects that are either under construction or in the advanced planning/design stage that will improve traffic flow on the Mary Hill Bypass. • The Port Mann Bridge-Highway 1 project will eliminate the extensive queuing and delays on westbound Mary Hill Bypass (due to existing capacity limitations at the Coleman Interchange). The Mary Hill Bypass traffic will then have direct (free flow) access onto Highway 1 in both directions at the twinned Port Mann Bridge. Gateway staff advise that the improvement is scheduled for completion between 2009 and 2013. • The new Pitt River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange project will reduce lineups and delays for traffic travelling over the Pitt River. This will significantly improve conditions on Lougheed Highway and the Mary Hill Bypass. • The longer-term Gateway Program also includes the construction of grade-separated interchanges on Mary Hill Bypass where it crosses Broadway Avenue, Pitt
