Hot off the press from the City of Port Moody

Noons Creek Bridge Traffic Update – Tuesday September 7, 2010 – 5pm

• Engineering staff at the City of Port Moody are continuing to work closely with contractors, Graham Infrastructure, to replace the old Noons Creek Bridge.

• The City of Port Moody advises all Anmore and Belcarra residents to use East Road through Anmore as their alternate route.
• Port Moody residents living at the west end of Ioco Road are also encouraged to use East Road.
• The City of Port Moody is reminding all drivers to follow the direction of flag personnel and asking them to exercise patience during this construction period.
• This week, pile driving begins for the steel and concrete structure that forms part of the new bridge.
• The City of Port Moody understands that construction is causing some inconvenience and appreciates the public’s ongoing patience and understanding as staff work to replace the 40-year old bridge.
• The new Noons Creek Bridge will become operational this fall.
• The old creaky Noons Creek Bridge is now resting in its final retirement home but feels sorely missed.
