Surrey-Langley Skytrain construction closes Fraser Highway

Commuters who use the Fraser Highway in Surrey should be prepared for some big delays beginning Tuesday.

As of April 1, a stretch of the highway between 140 Street and 96 Avenue will be closed as part of the construction of the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension and its Green Timbers Station.

The closure will be in place for the entire summer through the fall, set to wrap up around the end of October.

The closure includes vehicle lanes, sidewalks, and bike lanes. The Ministry of Transportation and Transit says the best alternate route is 96 Avenue.

Along with the full closure of that stretch of the highway, there will also be intermittent overnight closures of the stretch just east, between 96 Avenue and 148 Street.

“These intermittent overnight closures (8 p.m. – 5 a.m.) will be in place as required. Vehicles travelling on Fraser Highway will be directed to 96 Avenue via 148 Street,” the ministry said in a statement.

The SkyTrain extension linking King George Station to Langley City should be up and running in late 2029.
