Gilbert Road Sewer Upgrade

Notice of emergency sewer work.

As you may know, Metro Vancouver is in the process of upgrading the Gilbert Road Sewer in the City of Richmond.

An unexpected sewer overflow related to this project took place overnight and emergency work is currently underway to contain it.

Work Location: 
On Gilbert Road just south of Granville Avenue with minor works at various locations along Gilbert Road between Granville Avenue and Elmbridge Way.

Hours of Work: 
24-hour works until the overflow is contained

You may notice some odour and noise in the area while this work is taking place.  In addition, there may be temporary lane closures in place in the area.  Traffic directions will be maintained.

The new upgraded sewer that is currently being installed will help to prevent spills like this in the future. Thank you very much your patience and understanding during this work.
