UPDATE: 9:55 a.m.
A bridge that serves as a major commuter crossing in Metro Vancouver is being replaced.
Replacing the Pattullo Bridge between Surrey and New Westminster will cost $1.37 billion and will be funded solely by the British Columbia government.
The original bridge opened in 1937 and was expected to have a lifespan of 50 years.
The new four-lane bridge can be expanded to six lanes with construction expected to start next year.
Transportation Minister Claire Trevena says the new bridge will ensure public safety and make it easier to connect between Surrey and New Westminster.

Vancouver is getting a new bridge.
The Patullo Bridge will be replaced with an entirely new structure expected to cost $1.37-billion and construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2019.
The announcement was made in New Westminster today that the project is going to be delivered "solely by the province."
"This bridge was designed in the 1920s, built in the 1930s and is well past its best before date," Premier John Horgan said.
