PITT MEADOWS, BC - Canadian Pacific Railway staff has begun picketing at the Vancouver Intermodal Facility (VIF) located off Kennedy Road in Pitt Meadows, as part of an ongoing job action dispute. To maintain community safety, the City has suspended VIF access from Lougheed Highway, until further notice. Truck traffic has been detoured via Airport Way and Ford Road.
”Preventing truck traffic congestion from backing up onto Lougheed Highway is critical to community safety,” says Mayor John Becker. See map below.
Local traffic will continue to be permitted southbound off of Lougheed Hwy and Kennedy Road. The City has contracted traffic management crews to implement this partial road closure during the job action at VIF between the hours of 7AM and 7PM.
The City of Pitt Meadows will continue to work with our agency partners to address issues as they arise and to communicate to address any arising concerns.
