From Nov. 12 to Dec. 12, Fraser Highway between Whalley Boulevard and 140th Street in Surrey is open to local access only, around the clock. Drivers will need another route for about a month while crews install beams above the road for the Green Timbers station on the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain.
Alternate routes are King George Boulevard, 100th Avenue and 96th Avenue. There will be no access to or from 138th Street north of Fraser Highway until Dec. 18. The Transportation Investment Corporation says traffic control staff will coordinate access with residents, and emergency services and service providers will keep access.
Cyclists and pedestrians can use the north side of Fraser Highway, though crews will hold intermittent stoppages whenever overhead work requires a safety zone below. The multi-use pathway on the south side stays open to local access only.
Work runs 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. Expect delays and a temporary increase in noise. Transit riders should check TransLink.ca for bus service changes.
The Surrey-Langley line has cost more and opened later than first planned. Published reports say 2024 that the cost rose, and that opening moved from late 2028 to late 2029. The province blamed inflation, commodity costs, supply-chain and labour pressures.
