Pipeline Road Upgrade Project – David to Guildford Section 

We will be upgrading Pipeline Road (JPEG) from David Avenue to Guildford Way. 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

As part of the project:

• Pipeline Road between Guildford Way and David Avenue will be widened to accommodate four lanes of vehicle traffic with dedicated left turn lanes
• A wide multi-use pathway will be constructed along the west side of the road that aims to separate people cycling from walking 
• Additional improvements will be added including new street and pathway lighting, new landscaped centre medians, and new street trees and plantings
• Road safety improvements at intersections will reduce conflicts and collision

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

Timeline

Metro Vancouver is currently installing a new water main along this section of Pipeline Road. Construction of their project began in 2023 with completion planned for 2026. 

Coquitlam's Pipeline Road Upgrade Project will begin once Metro Vancouver has completed the installation of the new water main, likely in spring 2025. See below for more details. 

Metro Vancouver's Coquitlam Water Main Project

To meet the growing demand for drinking water in the region, Metro Vancouver is constructing a new water main in Coquitlam. The project will be constructed in sections starting with the Robson to Guildford Section in 2023.

Metro Vancouver will complete water main construction in coordination with the City of Coquitlam’s Pipeline Road Upgrade Project. Once both projects are complete, the City of Coquitlam will lead restoration and tree replanting in Town Centre Park.
