Federal Contribution over $95 million for Trans-Canada Highway 1 - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Extension (216 Street to 264 Street)
December 19, 2022 – Langley, British Columbia
Langley is celebrating the start of construction on the Highway 1 Widening Project. This expansion will add one high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction between 216th Street and 264th Street. The project will also construct and replace three crossings around Glover Road and restructure the 232nd Street Interchange.
Investing in local and regional road infrastructure is a key part of maintaining safe and efficient transportation networks in our communities. From roads and community centres to public transit and infrastructure, investments in infrastructure build strong and healthy communities that are sustainable in the long term. This project will benefit the community by reducing congestion and travel time, as well as enhancing active transportation routes. The Government of Canada has invested $95 million towards this project, which is part of the larger $108.9 million Trans-Canada Highway 1 High-Occupancy Vehicle Lane Extension Project.
This project will reconfigure an existing interchange, replace two existing crossings, and improve active transportation infrastructure, improving safety for road users and ensuring that more commercial and oversize vehicles are able to travel on this route.
“We will keep working collaboratively with our partners to support meaningful investments in infrastructure projects that grow our country’s economy, increase the resiliency of our communities, and improve the lives of Canadians.”
