Drivers are advised that Exit 22A will permanently close on March 13, 2019, as part of the Lower Lynn Improvement Project that will ease congestion on the North Shore.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure continues to make progress on the Highway 1/Lower Lynn improvements that will help revitalize connectivity through the North Shore, and ease congestion issues.

Members of the public are invited to attend two upcoming information sessions in North Vancouver about the Highway 1/Lower Lynn Improvements Project.

A contract for a $31.5-million project has been awarded to Lafarge Canada Inc. to build a new interchange at Mountain Highway where it intersects with Highway 1 in the District of North Vancouver, creating about 110 jobs over the life of the project.

Modern and efficient roadways are crucial to encouraging and supporting economic activity, facilitating trade, and creating well-paying, middle class jobs.

North Vancouver is receiving a joint federal-provincial Small Communities Fund grant worth $3,866,666 investments.

The public is invited to attend a drop-in information session on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2017, to learn more about the $36-million Mountain Highway Interchange project designed to improve safety and traffic flow on Highway 1 north of the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows crossing.
