Vancouver 's Granville Street Bridge reconstruction project to remove traffic loops, install a bike path and upgrade the steel coating to prevent rusting has hit another speed bump.

Vancouver sued three local contractors over what the city called deficiencies in repairs done during 2019 and 2021 .

The city is now being sued by a painting company it hired to paint and restore parts of the 70-year-old bridge in a $5.8-million contract.

Vancouver city council has granted one of the three defendants an $8.8 million contract to fix the south end ramps in the next phase of the bridge restoration.
