The City of Coquitlam is working on a major project that includes sewer system improvements, environmental enhancements, and transportation upgrades.
Although Victoria Drive and Cedar Drive are primarily affected, visitors heading to the park should expect to encounter detours, delays, and significant increases in construction traffic on all routes to the park, according to a Metro Vancouver advisory for Minnekhada Regional Park.
City’s updates on this project can be found at Cedar Creek Upgrade Project. For more information, email the Cedar Drive Project team at cedardrive@coquitlam.ca or call 604-927-3515.
Visitors planning to use the Minnekhada Lodge Entrance should also expect heavy construction traffic along Oliver Road. Be prepared to meet large construction vehicles, such as dump trucks, frequently. Since Oliver Road is narrow with few pullouts, please allow extra time to travel to the park, or consider using the Quarry Road Entrance, the advisory cautions.
Due to storm damage, some sections of Quarry Trail are rough and uneven. Plans for repairs are underway but several permits are required before the work can proceed. Please follow posted safety signs; use extra caution; and consider other routes in poor weather conditions.
