Central Valley Greenway, between Sperling Avenue and Douglas Road, is closed from August to early November for culvert upgrades and paving work. Construction has now advanced to the next phase. As part of this phase, access between the Kensington Avenue pedestrian/cyclist overpass and the Central Valley Greenway has been temporarily closed to support ongoing construction activities. The Kensington Avenue pedestrian/cyclist overpass remains open and accessible to the public.
The Sperling Avenue pedestrian/cyclist overpass is expected to remain open throughout all phases of construction. Temporary access restrictions may be required from time to time to support construction activities and ensure public safety. Please follow posted signage and directions from traffic control personnel. View the detour map.
We appreciate your patience as we complete these important improvements.
Follow the path–from Vancouver, through Burnaby to New Westminster
Hop on your bike or put on your walking shoes and visit one of the region’s most popular destinations. The Central Valley Greenway (CVG) is a 24-kilometre path connecting Vancouver, Burnaby and downtown New Westminster. It follows a shallow valley, providing a scenic route that's relatively flat for an enjoyable bike ride or walk for people of all ages.

In Burnaby, the Greenway brings you close to natural areas and recreational facilities. At Burnaby Lake Regional Park, the CVG divides into a bicycle route and a pedestrian route. The walking route connects to an 11-kilometre pedestrian only loop–a fantastic place to view birds like great blue herons, bald eagles, belted kingfishers and ospreys.
On the Greenway Trail, you'll pass by Burnaby Lake Regional Park amenities like the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex, Rowing Pavilion, Equestrian Centre and Nature House. CVG has links to Millennium Line SkyTrain stations within Burnaby. So you can ride or take your bike on board (non-rush hours) and turn your trek along the CVG into an even longer journey.
