Pipeline Road Upgrade Project – David to Guildford Section 

We will be upgrading Pipeline Road from David Avenue to Guildford Way (see PDF map). 

This project will:

• Improve safety and accessibility for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and drivers
• Improve pedestrian facilities
• Improve active transportation (e.g. scooters, bikes and their electrified versions) along the corridor
• Increase road capacity
• Improve aesthetics and lighting
• Improve access to Town Centre Park

Project Phasing

• Phase 1  - Guildford Way to Gabriola Drive - The City has awarded a contract to Key-West Asphalt (332) Ltd. to complete the upgrades on Pipeline Road from Guildford Way to Gabriola Drive.  Construction began in March and will be ongoing until early 2026.
• Phase 2 - Gabriola Drive to David Avenue will take place in 2026 once the Metro Vancouver Water Main Project is completed (see details below).

Construction Update – December 2025

Work continues along the west side of Pipeline Road between Guildford Way and Gabriola Drive, which includes:

• New concrete curb and gutter
• Road widening 
• Construction of the new multi-use pathway
• BC Hydro, Rogers, and Telus have completed their utility work, and BC Hydro will begin removing the poles

In the new year, the contractor will begin removing the existing sidewalk on the east side to prepare for new sidewalk construction. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the project with the assistance of flaggers during work hours. After hours; the sidewalk will remain accessible but will be  gravel not pavement. Pedestrians should use with due care. Travel with caution through construction zones, watch for work crews and equipment, and please obey all traffic personnel and signs.

Project Results 

• Pipeline Road between Guildford Way and David Avenue will be widened to accommodate four lanes of vehicle traffic with dedicated left turn lanes
• A separated pedestrian pathway and two-way micromobility lane for cycling, scootering and their electrified forms will be constructed along the west side of the road, which aims to separate people cycling from walking 
• Additional improvements include new lighting, new landscaped centre medians, and new street trees and plantings
• Protected turn movements at intersections
• Accessibility and road safety improvements will be added at David Avenue, Gabriola Drive, Trevor Wingrove Way and Guildford Way 

This project aligns with Coquitlam's commitment to achieving the Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on our streets by 2050.

Metro Vancouver's Coquitlam Water Main Project

Metro Vancouver is constructing a new water main in Coquitlam to meet the growing demand for drinking water in the region. The Coquitlam Water Main is approximately 12 kilometres long, and varies between 2.2 and 3.5 metres in diameter. It will be constructed between the north end of Pipeline Road and Mariner Way at Riverview Crescent.
