Motorists and cyclists in Pitt Meadows should expect delays along the Ford Road Detour starting Monday, August 17, as the City of Pitt Meadows carries out roadside ditch maintenance. The work will run until Friday, August 28, 2026, with single-lane alternating traffic in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
The City’s notice, dated August 14, advises drivers to obey all signage and follow directions from traffic control personnel on site. The maintenance is part of the City’s routine road upkeep, aimed at keeping drainage systems functioning properly.
This stretch of road has seen disruptions before. In July 2026, a vehicle struck a BC Hydro pole in the 17600 block, closing the road in all directions during rush hour. The Ford Road Detour also required emergency culvert repairs in August 2024, leading to a full closure for several days.
Residents are encouraged to plan extra travel time and consider alternate routes where possible. Full details on this and other road maintenance notices are available on the City of Pitt Meadows website.
