The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has confirmed that the new four-lane Holdom Avenue overpass in Burnaby remains on schedule to open to vehicle traffic in spring 2027, with full construction completion expected by fall 2027. The $200-million project will eliminate the existing at-grade railway crossing at Douglas Road, improving road safety, reducing congestion and facilitating more efficient freight rail movements. The overpass is expected to increase trade capacity at the Port of Vancouver’s North Shore terminals by nearly 15%, supporting a critical rail corridor that handled over 40 million tonnes of export cargo in 2023. Jointly funded by the federal government, the port authority and CN, the project also received Envision Platinum certification for its sustainability measures.
