As work progresses to widen Highway 1 through the Fraser Valley, drivers are advised of upcoming traffic pattern changes westbound on Highway 1 between 248th Street and Glover Road.

Starting at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 9,  until 5 a.m. the following morning, westbound Highway 1 lane diversions will occur to implement a highway crossover that will allow traffic to flow in both directions in the eastbound highway lanes. During the diversion, both the westbound on- and off-ramps at 232nd Street will be closed.

Starting Friday, July 10,  until mid-September, an on-ramp configuration change will require a lane-pattern shift at the 232nd Street bridge. The new westbound on-ramp configuration from 232nd Street will bring a lane pattern shift for westbound Highway 1 drivers at the bridge.

These traffic pattern changes are necessary to allow crews to install drainage infrastructure and other improvements on Highway 1. This work is a key component of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program.

Work is weather dependent, so the exact timing of the changes could shift.

A reduced speed limit of 80 km/h will be in place. Drivers are advised to use caution, obey signage and traffic-control personnel, and watch for roadside workers. Please allow additional travel time through the area when diversions are underway.

Traffic and construction updates will be available on www.DriveBC.ca.
