Falcon Drive just south of Guildford Way in Coquitlam is down to one northbound lane at the intersection through Friday, October 16, 2026. City crews are doing utility maintenance there between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day, weather permitting, from Tuesday, October 13 through today.
The City of Coquitlam notice, posted October 11, 2026, and its official location map set out the work area and the lane change.
Friday is the last scheduled day of this window, and the single-lane pinch sits on the northbound approach, so morning and midday trips toward Guildford Way are the ones to pad or reroute.
What road users should know
Where: Falcon Drive, just south of the Guildford Way intersection. The City map marks the work area in red on the east side of Falcon Drive, running south from the intersection.
When: Tuesday, October 13 to Friday, October 16, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The City says the dates are weather permitting.
Drivers: Northbound traffic is reduced to a single lane at the intersection.

Who is affected
Anyone driving north on Falcon Drive toward Guildford Way during the workday through Friday should expect a slower approach to the intersection. If you walk this stretch, cross to the west side before you reach the work area. Evening and early morning trips should be unaffected based on the posted hours.
A longer Coquitlam closure is still separate: Dewdney Trunk Road between Cawthra Court and Pier Drive.
