SkyTrain beam work means hour-long traffic stoppages on Surrey highway<\/p>\n
Published 9:15 am Friday, May 22, 2026<\/p>\n
Motorists who drive Fraser Highway, take note: Delivery and installation of beams for the future SkyTrain guideway will mean overnight traffic stoppages in Surrey over the next few months.<\/p>\n
Builders of the Surrey-Langley line warn of single-lane alternating traffic from 168 Street to 184 Street to prepare areas for beam installation Sunday to Thursday nights, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.<\/p>\n
From May 28 to late-September, \u201cintermittent traffic stoppages of up to one hour\u201d will happen from 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.,\u201d the project <\/a>website<\/a> says.<\/p>\n Work is scheduled overnight to reduce daytime traffic impacts.<\/p>\n \u201cBusiness and residential access will be maintained, with traffic control prioritizing local access near active work areas. Temporary increases in noise are expected; mitigation measures will be in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n All eight stations along the Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension are under construction, with progress visible above ground at Fleetwood and Green Timbers stations.<\/p>\n The project will extend the Expo Line 16 kilometres, primarily along Fraser Highway from King George station in Surrey to 203 Street in Langley.<\/p>\n The Ministry of Transportation says construction on the guideway foundation for the extension is almost complete, as is 75 per cent of the guideway column work.<\/p>\n Once the extension opens in late 2029, it will take just over an hour to travel from Langley City Centre to Waterfront Station in Vancouver.<\/p>\n \u2014with files from Anna Burns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SkyTrain beam work means hour-long traffic stoppages on Surrey highway Published 9:15 am Friday, May 22, 2026 Motorists…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":686775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,163792,87674],"class_list":["post-686774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-lower-mainland","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
