Highway 1 widening starts this summer in Langley

The provincial government announced its plans to widen Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley starting this summer.

Construction will start with a new 232 Street interchange as part of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program, announced Rob Fleming, B.C. minister of transportation and infrastructure.

“Our government knows that people in the Fraser Valley face lengthy commuting times in and out of Vancouver and within this region each and every day of their lives,” Fleming commented at the media announcement at the 232 Street interchange on Thursday, May 23.

“We’re set to start major construction this summer to widen Highway 1 between 216 and 264 Streets and upgrade another essential crossing at 232 Street.”

The 264th Street interchange is the location with the highest number of crashes in Langley.
