Construction on the new Vedder Bridge is reaching the final stages.

But there is still some night paving left to do.

City of Chilliwack has put out a notice to let motorists know about some upcoming traffic changes.

”Road and paving works to connect traffic flow to the new bridge will be staged over three consecutive nights, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., starting Sunday, August 27, with completion on Wednesday, August 30,” according to the notice.

There will be “delays and detours” during and after the paving, but all road connections will be maintained.

Everyone is asked to pay attention to the construction signage and flaggers’ directions, and consider using alternate routes during the construction.
