The road widening project is to also provide for an alternative north-south corridor during construction of the BRT project on King George
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Surrey council recently approved awarding a contract for engineering services for 140th Street Road Improvements from 72nd to 80B avenues.<\/p>\n
The design work is to be completed this summer and construction of the project is anticipated to commence in fall of 2027, subject to council approval of a subsequent construction contract.<\/p>\n
Staff anticipate that the project could be completed by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the latest phase of a multi-phased program to create a four-lane arterial widening of 140th Street between 72nd Avenue and 105th Boulevard, a key corridor connection between Newton and City Centre.<\/p>\n
A Surrey report notes that the project also supports the King George Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, as it will provide for an alternative north-south corridor during construction of the BRT project.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the city recently awarded a contract for road widening along King George Boulevard to support the future construction of the BRT.<\/p>\n
The contract includes widening King George between 72nd and 76th avenues by adding a third southbound lane.<\/p>\n
The road work is expected to be completed by the end of this summer.<\/p>\n
Surrey council also approved advancing the BRT project to full design.<\/p>\n
The future line will run along a 19-km corridor with 12 stations from City Centre to Semiahmoo Town Centre.<\/p>\n
