Instream and Ditching Program

Notice

We are kicking off our annual instream and ditching program today! This work to remove wash down sediment and clear these areas is important because:

  • It allows for proper flow and capacity of our ditches and drainage channels around Port Coquitlam — reducing flood risks in low-lying areas and floodplains
  • It helps protect and strengthen fish and wildlife habitat

From now until September 15, City crews will be working roadside all around the City, which may result in occasional single-lane traffic management measures. Please slow down when passing work areas. We appreciate your patience.
