Latest Highway 1 traffic pattern change in Langley expected to last until November

LANGLEY — The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit says a change to traffic patterns on Highway 1 in Langley, starting as early as this weekend, is set to last until late fall.

On Saturday, July 11, the eastbound Highway 1 lanes are set to shift north of the median, and the eastbound off-ramp to 264th Street, or Exit 73, will start at roughly one kilometre west of its current spot.

“The traffic-pattern change is necessary as the Ministry of Transportation and Transit’s contractor completes improvements to Highway 1 eastbound, including drainage, utility relocation and structure demolition,” said the Ministry. “The work is a key component of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program.”

Drivers are asked to obey signs, watch for road crews, and plan for added travel time through the area.
