In February 2020, the City of Delta held its third public information meeting for the 72 Avenue Roadway Improvements. Phase 1 of the project was successfully completed in 2023. Watch our recap video of Phase 1 here. Phase 2 works are scheduled to start the week of October 21, 2024. At this time, it’s anticipated that work will be substantially complete by fall 2025.
Construction Phasing:
Phase 1 (BNSF Overpass to 115 Street) - Completed in 2023
Phase 2 (115 Street to 120 Street) - Starting in 2024
Project Improvements Include:
Road widening to accommodate 4 travel lanes, complete with a centre median island from 115 Street to 120 Street
New LED street lighting
New traffic signal at 118 Street and 72 Avenue
Bus stop improvements
Sidewalk improvements
Hydro / telecommunication pole relocations
New traffic signal equipment to support signalized U-turns at 116 Street & Nicholson Road intersections
Construction Updates/Schedule:
Crews have completed the preliminary work on 72 Avenue and have started road widening and sidewalk work from Nicholson Road to 118 Street. Works are planned to progress towards 116 Street over the coming weeks.
Traffic Impacts:
During construction, please use caution while travelling in the area and obey road / construction signs, posted speed limits, and traffic control personnel. We will make every effort to minimize the inconvenience to residents; however, with work of this nature, some inconvenience will be unavoidable, and we ask for your patience and cooperation during construction.
Construction Night Work:
To minimize traffic disruption, work that will have major traffic impacts such as major asphalt paving is planned to be undertaken in the late evenings and overnight when traffic is generally minimal. Prior to any construction work at night, a notice will be provided to residents in the immediate area to advise of upcoming construction work and schedule. All efforts will be made to have minimal noise generated during the night work.
Funding Partners:
This project is co-funded by TransLink as part of their Major Road Network Improvement Program.
