The new Pattullo bridge will ultimately replace the old lower level crossing over the Fraser River between New Westminster and Surrey in the western province of British Columbia. It has four lanes for traffic as well as ped and cycle lanes and it meets modern seismic and roadway standards.
Working for FCCGP, Spencer Bridge Engineering has designed, manufactured and tested the semi-permanent access system that will enable inspection of the new bridge’s stay cables.
