Holdom Overpass

Scope of Work

The scope of work includes the design and construction of a new four-lane overpass that will extend Holdom Avenue south across Still Creek and the CN rail corridor, connecting to Douglas Road in Burnaby. The project also involves the construction of a new bridge crossing Sunken Engine Creek, building a new pump station, the extension of Goring Street to Kingsland Drive, intersection upgrades, as well as habitat enhancements and restorations. Construction started in late 2024, with anticipated completion in 2027.

Challenges & Solutions

The Holdom Overpass Project requires the close coordination of many stakeholders, including the port authority, City of Burnaby and and CN. NorLand’s experienced BEL Contracting division is committed to working closely with all parties involved to ensure the project is delivered within the set timeline and budget.

Overall Impact

In addition to enhancing transportation efficiency and trade capacity via the North Shore terminals at the Port of Vancouver, the Holdom Overpass Project will increase safety and connections for the Burnaby community. Both pedestrians and drivers will benefit from the improved traffic flow, emergency response, and public space. As the project progresses, NorLand’s BEL Contracting division continues to demonstrate its role in shaping and improving transportation infrastructure in the Lower Mainland.
