Getting off at the 152 St. Interchange will allow them to use dedicated lanes on the bridge.
However, that means once they use the exit, they will be separated from highway traffic and unable to get back to Hwy. 1.
HOV drivers and drivers entering Hwy. 1 westbound via the 156 Street HOV on-ramp wishing to access Coquitlam will need to use the Brunette Interchange.
Drivers are asked to keep an eye out for new signs to make sure they use the correct lane.
