Hi - we would like to remove all segments from the old Pattullo Bridge (McBride Blvd / King George Blvd). No need for a constant closure line to display on Google for a bridge that is being dismantled. Is this the proper form to do this?

Thanks,

You have found the right place for requests like this. We had initially opted to leave the closures in place until the bridge was removed since the bridge is still physically there.
I’ve sent a request to Google to remove the segments that no longer exist.
Are you able to expand on why this closure being displayed is causing issues?
Thanks. I see the confusion now - Google does not show that road anymore but lists the closure as a big red line spanning the river, leading to some thinking the new bridge is closed, most likely from looking at a zoomed-out view.
Waze still has the road in place, but removing that closure may confuse travelers into thinking there are two [2] viable crossings available to them.
Not sure on the best action here.
I’ve removed the closures on the old bridge. We didn’t anticipate the potential for confusion and they really have no purpose anymore.
Thanks for helping to improve folks getting to where they need to go.
