After more than four months of construction delays all four lanes of the Pattullo Bridge will reopen Monday.

The opening comes a month ahead of schedule.

Rehabilitation work on the aging bridge began in late April and was supposed to last until October.

The bridge is 79 years old and is scheduled to be replaced by 2023.

Before it fully reopens on Monday however, it will be closed two more times:

  • 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 to 5 a.m. Friday, Aug. 26
  • 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26 to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29

After reopening Monday, the bridge will still return to just lane open in each direction overnight.
