Crews are relocating an existing BC Hydro electrical line north of the Steveston Interchange Project.

Starting January 16 and lasting for approximately a month, crews are installing a new electrical line across Highway 99. This work includes installing new wooden electrical poles adjacent to Steveston Highway and Highway 99 ramps, connecting the new line to an existing line on both sides of Highway 99, and removing the existing poles and line.

Work will be completed during the day and at night. Overnight work is required to minimize traffic disruptions.

At two separate instances throughout this process, Highway 99 north and south will be closed to traffic for a short duration (less than 3 hours) at night. Traffic will be detoured up and over the existing on and off ramps. Short-term ramp stoppages will also occur at night to facilitate the line installation. Notices of these detours and impacts will be made available on DriveBC in advance, and detour routes will be provided.
