Repairs to SkyTrain bridge will mean delays between Surrey and New Westminster next month

 
VANCOUVER --
People who take the SkyTrain to and from Surrey are going to find themselves waiting longer for trains in the coming weeks.
TransLink says the replacement of expansion joints on the SkyBridge, which carries the Expo Line over the Fraser River between New Westminster and Surrey, will begin on July 31.
"The expansion joints on the bridge have not been replaced since their construction and have reached the end of their useful lives," TransLink said in a news release.
The transit agency added that trains have crossed the bridge more than 5 million times since 1990.
Trains will be single-tracking over the bridge from July 31 to Aug. 7 and again from Aug. 14 to Aug. 21.
