Construction work starts Monday, April 14 to replace the 75-year-old KLO Bridge and improve a nearby roundabout. 

The work is taking place between Leader and Hall roads. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained along KLO Rd. across the old bridge while the new bridge is constructed upstream. Single-lane alternating traffic will be required at times, and intermittent closures of the Mission Greenway may also be required. Greenway users will be detoured south towards Leader Rd and redirected around the project site. 

The project includes building a new 35-metre clear span bridge over Mission Creek at a higher elevation to accommodate flood flows and allow safe passage for Greenway users. A new roundabout at KLO and Spiers Rd. will improve traffic flow and intersection safety, supporting active transportation options, according to a City of 琉璃神社 media release. Utility upgrades and riparian habitat improvements are also part of the project. 

Construction will take place Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Work may occur outside of regular hours including evenings, overnight and weekends.

The KLO Bridge replacement and roundabout improvement, approximately $23 million, is being funded by the city, and the provincial and federal governments.
