96 Avenue Utility and Roadway Improvements
Consultation has concluded
UPDATE: Beginning on February 16, 2026, crews will commence sanitary sewer capacity improvements on 96 Avenue. This will require an approximately 6-week road closure between 118 Street and 120 Street. During this time, please use alternate routes (see map of detour route below), follow traffic control instructions, and expect delays.
Construction Information – Phase 1 (120 St to 116 St)
The City of Surrey has awarded the construction contract for Phase 1 of the 96 Avenue Utility and Roadway Improvements project to Arsalan Construction Ltd. (ACL). The project began in November 2025 and is scheduled to be substantially complete by September 2026.
A full road closure will be in effect along 96 Avenue between 120 Street and 118 Street from February 16 to early April. This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to safely install a sanitary trunk sewer beneath the railway tracks. Due to the narrow roadway at this location, the road must be fully closed to accommodate the trenchless installation equipment and ensure public safety.
During the works, landscape features such as fencing, hedges and trees on properties fronting 96 Avenue may be impacted. Access to driveways may be disrupted or temporarily closed while the works take place or when concrete is being placed and cured.
Please observe and abide all parking restrictions, construction signage, and traffic control personnel.
Project Description:
A design has been developed for utility and roadway improvements along 96 Avenue between 114 Street and 120 Street. The project is part of Delta’s Neighbourhood Road Improvements Program, in collaboration with City of Surrey to address neighbourhood mobility and increase safety and accessibility for cyclist and pedestrian in the community.
The proposed improvements include:
Pedestrian and Cycling Improvements: New 3.0m wide asphalt multi-use pathway along both sides of the road
Boulevard: New grassed boulevard on the south side with street trees, separating the multi-use pathway from the roadway
Parking: parking pockets with 0.6m buffer separation to the multi-use pathway
Lighting Enhancements: New LED streetlights and pathway lighting
Roadway: Roadway pavement rehabilitation
For more information, please refer to the project presentation drawings.
A Public Information Meeting with City staff was held on October 30, 2024 to discuss the proposed design with the community and the online consultation closed on November 12, 2024. The construction of the project is anticipated to take place in two phases from 120 Street to 116 Street (Phase 1) in 2025, and from 116 Street to 114 Street for future capital plans.
This project is co-funded by TransLink as part of their Bicycle Infrastructure Capital Cost Share program.
