Grandview Viaduct to close for most of September for road repairs
As part of the Terminal Avenue rehabilitation project, the City of Vancouver announced today the Grandview Viaduct linking Terminal Avenue with East 1st Avenue and Clark Drive will undergo a multi-week closure starting September 2.
The maintenance work is expected to take between two and four weeks and will focus on the full removal and replacement of the aging asphalt pavement. Repairs will also be made to the concrete deck of the bridge.
