ABBOTSFORD – With no prior advance notice sent to the news media, the province has rerouted Highway 1 eastbound traffic through Abbotsford Sunday night due to road construction.
Abbotsford PD spokesperson Sgt. Paul Walker says there is a highway detour in effect Sunday night at the Mt. Lehman Road off-ramp (Exit 83).
“Highway 1 eastbound at Mt. Lehman Road is currently closed due to overnight construction related to the Highway 1 expansion project,” Sgt. Walker said.
Traffic is being diverted off at Mt. Lehman Road southbound, then redirected east onto Fraser Highway and back onto Highway 1 via the eastbound on-ramp at Fraser Highway.
