Toronto, Ontario – February 13, 2026: Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) (“Aecon”) was pleased to join Fraser Crossing Partners and the Province of British Columbia to celebrate the opening of the stal̕əw̓asəm (Riverview) Bridge, providing a modernized connection between Surrey and New Westminster.
The new, four-lane, cable-stayed bridge replaces the nearly 90-year-old Pattullo Bridge over the Fraser River and features wider lanes for passenger and commercial vehicles, a centre safety median barrier, and dedicated walking and cycling lanes.

With the new bridge open, Fraser Crossing Partners is now focused on finishing activities to complete the project, including the removal of the existing Pattullo Bridge.
