The province says improvements will also be made to Peardonville Road and surrounding connections north and south of Highway 1.

Approximately 1.6 kilometres of Highway 1 will also be widened as part of the crossing construction, with new high-occupancy vehicle (HOV), electric vehicle (EV) and bus-on-shoulder lanes.

With work at Peardonville Road getting underway, all segments of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program are now in active construction.

The new crossing will make it easier and safer for people walking, cycling and driving to get across Highway 1. As well, more highway capacity and new HOV, EV and bus-on-shoulder lanes will support more reliable trips through the Fraser Valley.

“Abbotsford is growing and our transportation infrastructure needs to keep pace with the people, families and businesses who call this community home,” said Ross Siemens, mayor of Abbotsford. “The new Peardonville Road crossing will improve connections for people driving, walking and cycling, while the broader Highway 1 improvements will help people move more reliably through our community. We appreciate the Province of B.C.’s investment in Abbotsford to help deliver safer, more efficient transportation connections that will support our growing community and benefit residents for generations to come.”

The contract is valued at $119.4 million and is being funded in partnership with the City of Abbotsford. The project is expected to be complete in 2031.

While construction will mean some temporary traffic impacts, the province says the public works project will deliver long-term improvements for people travelling through this busy part of Abbotsford.
