The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has awarded a $1,894,622 contract to Lafarge Canada to resurface 10.5 kilometres of Highway 13 (264 Street) from the Canada/US border to the Highway 1/264 Street interchange.
The improvements will increase safety and ride comfort for drivers using this important Fraser Valley corridor by providing a smoother pavement surface.
Regular resurfacing protects the road鈥檚 foundation by sealing out water and preventing potholing. This project will extend the lifespan of the highway and ensure the public鈥檚 infrastructure is maintained to a high standard.
鈥淭his is a major route in our area; it connects Highway 1 with the Aldergrove border and is used by residents and tourists alike,鈥 said Fort 91原创-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.
鈥淭his project will extend the lifespan of the road, and make driving this section of highway safer and more comfortable,鈥 he added.
The resurfacing will be done from 0 Avenue to 56 Avenue at the interchange.
Work is expected to begin this month and be finished by July, and motorists are urged to pay attention to all traffic control personnel when driving the corridor during this time.
