Significant new funding to widen and improve Highway 1 through the Fraser Valley will relieve traffic congestion and help ease daily commutes between Langley and Abbotsford — whether by car, bus, bike or on foot.

More communities will benefit from local projects that help keep people safe during disasters and extreme-weather events.

The next phase of Highway 1 expansion through the Fraser Valley to the Sumas Prairie has begun, which will relieve traffic congestion and accommodate more sustainable transportation options in the region.

People travelling in the Fraser Valley will benefit from a wider Highway 1, better cross-highway connections and more sustainable transportation options, with proposed improvements between the 264th Street Interchange and Highway 11 Interchange now available for public comment.

Seventy-four local and First-Nations-led projects to help plan and build safe, inclusive active transportation connections are moving forward in communities around the province.

The Province is planning for future improvements to Highway 1 between 264th Street and Whatcom Road, and public engagement is underway to help determine the full scope of the project.
