June 22, 2025 - Starting June 25, nighttime works along 72 Ave between Brewster Dr and 120 St will begin from 7 pm - 7 am. Traffic will be single-lane in both direction with no on-street parking permitted on 72 Ave to facilitate paving works.


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) - Started 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 most of the preliminary work between Brewster Drive and Nicholson Road to support the road widening. A center median has been installed in this section, along with streetlight bases and electrical conduit installations. Over the coming weeks, work will progress toward 116 Street and 115 Street, with the majority of the electrical and streetlighting work in that area nearing completion.

Traffic Impacts:

During construction, please travel with caution and observe all road and construction signage, posted speed limits, and instructions from traffic control personnel. Residents along 72 Avenue may experience limited or no vehicle access when construction is taking place directly in front of their property or driveways are being worked on. Please note: you may be unable to drive or park on the new pavement for 5 to 7 days, depending on the Contractor’s requirements. We strongly encourage residents to arrange alternative parking during this time.

Construction Night Work:

To reduce daytime traffic disruptions, night work is scheduled for paving operations on 72 Avenue, between Brewster Drive and 120 Street:

  • Asphalt surface removal (milling): June 25–28, 2025, from 7:00 pm to 7 am
  • New asphalt placement: July 2–4, 2025, from 7:00 pm to 7 am

During these activities, traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction, and there will be no on-street parking permitted on 72 Avenue. Residents fronting this section are strongly encouraged to find alternate parking if they anticipate needing vehicle access during these hours. Every effort will be made to minimize noise during night work, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Funding Partners:

This project is co-funded by TransLink as part of their Major Road Network Improvement Program.
