The Pattullo Bridge has officially closed after shutting the link between New Westminster and Surrey to vehicle traffic.

Cyclists and pedestrians were invited to enjoy a car-free experience over the weekend, but it was cut a few hours short when people started to climb the arch of the bridge.

“There was a lineup forming, probably 20 people deep of people taking turns climbing up maybe 10 or 15 feet,” witness Derek Williams told Global News.

Police had to be called a second time on Monday, around 7 p.m., after security reported a group pushing through the barricades.

Travis Prasad reports.
