RICHMOND, B.C.  – The first half of the new five-lane Steveston Interchange is now complete with westbound drivers able to use the structure this morning (Jan. 16).
During these traffic pattern changes, drivers are reminded to obey construction-zone speed limits and pay attention to all signage and the direction of traffic-control personnel, a release reads.
The removal of the old Steveston Highway crossing will take three weekends to complete and will require lane diversions on Highway 99 and periodic lane closures on Steveston Highway to allow for the removal work.
Drivers can expect delays and should plan alternative routes. Details of these closures will be released when dates are confirmed.
Once the old crossing is removed, work will begin on the second half of the new interchange. The new Steveston Interchange will have three westbound and two eastbound lanes to improve traffic flow. It will also provide better access to transit stops and safer pedestrian and cycling connections across Highway 99, with sidewalks and separated bike lanes on both sides of the overpass, the release reads. The new interchange is scheduled for completion in fall 2025.
The Steveston Interchange Project is a critical part of the Highway 99 Tunnel Program and is being delivered in advance of the new tunnel project.
