As part of the River Parkway Capital Project, the City of Richmond will be raising a section of River Road in preparation for connection to the new River Parkway that will connect Gilbert Road to Cambie Road along the former CP Railway corridor.
Please be advised that River Road east of Gilbert Road will be undergoing a full 24-hour closure starting on July 15 at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) through to 11:59 p.m. the same day.
Access to businesses along River Road will be possible during this work but will have to be accessed from Cambie Road. River Road to the east of the closure at the Gilbert intersection will remain open. Advisory and directional signage will be installed prior to the closure.
As this work will also be occurring at night, measures will be in place to minimize noise and light disturbances.
This temporary road closure is to facilitate construction that will eventually close access to Gilbert from River Road (ETA: Fall 2020). Proceeding with this work is imperative to allow the future connection of River Road to the new River Parkway once the project is complete.
