Plans for Surrey Langley SkyTrain have taken another step forward with the selection of a preferred proponent team to design and build eight new stations for the project, including cycling and walking paths around the new stations.

Drivers are advised that repairs to the 192nd Street crossing over Highway 1 will require overnight westbound highway lane closures starting tonight, Monday, Jan. 9, through Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023.

The Government of British Columbia has invited two pre-qualified bidding teams to participate in the request for proposals (RFP) stage to design, build and finance the elevated guideway, roadworks and utilities, as well as active transportation elements of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain.

As winter approaches, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is readying Lower Mainland highways and bridges to keep people and goods moving safely and efficiently during inclement weather.

Work is currently underway on the Alex Fraser Bridge until early on Monday, Nov. 15, as crews repair the bridge joints. Drivers are advised that weekend lane closures are necessary to safely perform this regular bridge maintenance.  

A detour will be in effect for motorists destined for Barnston Island and Surrey Bend Park from 7 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, until 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019.

Work will begin next week to resurface interchange ramps along a busy stretch of Highway 99, making the drive safer and smoother for people along this section of highway in south Surrey.
