Construction & Traffic Updates
As part of the Province of B.C.’s Steveston Interchange Project, which will expand the interchange from two to five lanes, crews are preparing the area for the new interchange construction. Starting on November 3 and lasting for approximately three months, crews will remove trees, vegetation, and topsoil within the vicinity of the Steveston Interchange, including the northbound onramp onto Highway 99, in advance of upcoming utility relocation work. Crews will also build access roads into the construction area at the same time.

As part of the Province of B.C.’s Steveston Interchange Project, which will expand the interchange from two to five lanes, crews will set up a temporary office facility on the west side of Highway 99 within the Province’s right-of-way. There will be trucks and equipment involved in the set up, but there will be no traffic impacts.
As part of the Province of B.C.’s Steveston Interchange Project, which will expand the interchange from two to five lanes, crews will be performing utilities investigation in the project area. This work involves using a hydrovac truck to remove the asphalt and soil to locate utilities. Crews will work in the shoulder area of eastbound Steveston Highway by Richmond Country Farms. Work will be completed overnight to minimize traffic impacts on Highway 99.
As part of the Province of B.C.’s Steveston Interchange Project, which will expand the interchange from two to five lanes, crews are completing geotechnical investigations in the project area. Geotechnical investigations involve drilling boreholes to gather important information about soil conditions. Crews will work in the areas surrounding the loop on-ramp on the east side of the interchange. This work will require a hydrovac truck and truck-mounted drill rig equipment. Work will be completed overnight to minimize traffic impacts on Highway 99.
As part of the Province of B.C.’s Steveston Interchange Project, which will expand the interchange from two to five lanes, crews will continue geotechnical investigations in the project area. Geotechnical investigations involve drilling boreholes to gather important information about soil conditions. Crews will work in the areas surrounding the Highway 99 southbound HOV/bus lane, Highway 99 eastbound to northbound on-ramp, and near the bridge approaches on Steveston Highway. This work will require a hydrovac truck and track-mounted drill rig equipment. Work will be completed overnight to minimize traffic impacts on Highway 99 and Steveston Highway.
