SURREY, BC – The City of Surrey has broken ground on the final phase of its 64 Avenue road widening project, a significant step towards improving traffic flow and enhancing safety for all road users. Construction has officially begun on the stretch of 64 Avenue between 152 Street and 164 Street, transforming it into a four-lane corridor with a new multi-use pathway.
This $10 million project is set to alleviate traffic congestion, bolster road safety, and support Surrey’s rapid growth. It marks the culmination of the City’s long-term vision to create a continuous four-lane east-west artery spanning from 120 Street to 196 Street.
“I’m proud our Council is completing essential road projects like 64 Avenue, a vital east-west corridor connecting Newton and Cloverdale communities,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “By prioritizing strategic infrastructure investments, we’re addressing the needs of our rapidly growing city, reducing traffic delays, enhancing road safety, and strengthening connectivity to ensure Surrey remains a livable, thriving community for all residents. In all, our Council is investing $446 million in roads and transit over the next five years as part of our commitment to building the infrastructure that will keep Surrey connected and moving.”
Key improvements planned for this phase include expanding the road from two to four vehicle lanes, adding a multi-use pathway on the south side for cyclists and pedestrians, repaving 152 Street between 64 Avenue and 68 Avenue, performing road repairs along the railway crossing at the 64 Avenue and 152 Street intersection.
City informed that to expedite the railway crossing resurfacing, a brief closure of 152 Street near the 64 Avenue intersection will be necessary during construction.
“The widening of 64 Avenue between 152 and 164 Streets completes the final missing link in a continuous four-lane corridor stretching from Delta to Langley,” stated Rafael Villerreal, Director of Transportation. “As a designated truck route and key east-west arterial, this upgrade enhances regional goods movement, supports local traffic, and improves safety and connectivity for all road users with the addition of a new multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists.”
The construction on this final phase of 64 Avenue widening is scheduled for completion in 2026. Work on an earlier phase, from 177B Street to 184 Street, is already nearing completion.
