Public Consultation! Hwy 1 Widening, 216 to 264 Street

The provincial government plans to widen Highway 1 between 216th and 264th streets in the Township of Langley and is looking for public input by March 19, 2021, to inform the final project design.

During this time, members can review and comment on details of the project design, including:

widening 10 kilometres of Highway 1 to accommodate eastbound and westbound high occupancy vehicle lanes in the median between the 216th Street and 264th Street interchanges;
construction of a new crossing at Glover Road, which will include dedicated 2.5-metre- wide cycling lanes on either side and a separate two-metre-wide sidewalk;
reconfiguration of the existing 232nd Street interchange and the replacement of the existing crossing, including a three-metre-wide multi-use pathway on either side; and
replacing the existing railway crossing immediately east of Glover Road.

Funding for this project was announced in 2019, so BCTA is pleased to see further action. The Province is committed to the continued widening of Highway 1 through the Fraser Valley. Although we await these improvements, replacement of the railway crossing on this section is particularly welcome, since it’s one of the lowest overpasses on this route. By widening the highway to add HOV lanes, the project will also help ease traffic congestion. We’ll continue to push for additional lanes to Hope with access for commercial vehicles.

While the ministry finalizes the project design, preliminary work will get underway this spring, including localized tree clearing and the pre-loading of soil.
