To ensure wastewater continues to be managed safely and to accommodate regional growth, upgrades to the North Road Sewer pipe are necessary.</p><p>The new pipe is being constructed in multiple phases over several years due to the length of the pipe spanning across the cities of New Westminster, Burnaby and Coqutilam. The North Road Sewer Upgrade project consists of the following sections of work:<br></p><ul><li><strong>Phase One:</strong> Extends between the Brunette River and just north of Lougheed Highway on North Road in New Westminster and Burnaby and was completed in 2020.<br></li><li><strong>Phase Two:</strong> Runs along North Road from Lougheed Highway to Clarke Road in Burnaby and Coquitlam. Prepatory work began in late 2023, with main construction starting in early 2024 and ending in approximately 2025.<br></li><li><strong>Phase Three:</strong> Located just under the BNSF Railway in Burnaby.<br></li></ul><p> <a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/factsheet-northroad.pdf" target="_blank">Fact Sheet - N​orth Roa​d Sewer​​​​​</a><br></p></div>North Road, cities of Burnaby and Coquitlam
