The exit ramp onto Main Street will close for three months.
Drivers heading to downtown Vancouver on the Georgia Viaduct should expect delays starting tomorrow.
The City of Vancouver’s crews will start repair work on the Georgia Viaduct starting Friday (Oct. 1).
The viaduct is an eastbound route connecting downtown to the city’s east side. The repairs include replacing expansion joints on the viaduct deck and ramps and will be underway until spring 2027, according to a press release.
Beginning on Friday at 2 p.m., the vehicle exit ramp from the Georgia Viaduct to Main Street will close for roughly three months.
Drivers should “plan ahead and expect delays.”
Expect potential delays until spring 2027
The city warns drivers to expect the following impacts:
Drivers: Expect reduced lanes and potential delays on the Georgia Viaduct.
Pedestrians: During construction, the Georgia Viaduct sidewalk may be closed for an extended period. Pedestrians should use the sidewalk on the adjacent Dunsmuir Viaduct.
Cyclists: The bike lane on the Dunsmuir Viaduct will not be impacted.
Expect short-term lane closures on Pacific Boulevard below the viaduct. Drivers should follow signage in the area during the work.
“The Dunsmuir Viaduct will remain open to westbound vehicle traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists traveling in both directions,” reads the release.
Check the road closures page for updates. Follow #VanTraffic or use traffic cameras to check conditions along your route before you travel.
The city says the timeline for the future of the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts is “still uncertain.” It plans to eventually replace them with “an at-grade street network as part of the Northeast False Creek Plan.”
