Guildford Way and Lansdowne Drive
Work at Guildford Way and Lansdowne Drive runs on November 9 only, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The City of Coquitlam says the intersection will be in blackout mode that day, meaning the traffic signals will be off and traffic personnel will direct vehicles through the crossing.
