152 Street Road Upgrades
The City is upgrading 152 Street in the lowlands to increase flood protection, traffic flow and travel options.
Project description
The City plans to raise and widen 152 Street between the Serpentine and Nicomekl Rivers to increase flood protection, traffic movement, and travel options.
This section of 152 Street between the Serpentine and Nicomekl Rivers is currently 2 lanes and built on grade in the floodplain. This section does not include any paths for walking or cycling.
Summary of improvements
152 Street Upgrades will include the following improvements:
- Road raising to keep our communities safe in case the coastal dykes breach during an extreme flood. This project is part of the first phase of implementation of Surrey's Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy to build community resilience to coastal flooding and sea level rise.
- Road widening to increase vehicle lanes from 2 to 4 lanes to keep traffic moving
- Upgrading transit stops and bus shelters to increase safety and access to transit
- Adding multiuse path for cycling and walking to provide sustainable travel options
- Twinning of Nicomekl River Bridge crossing to improve traffic movement
Preliminary design
Above is an artistic rendering of 152 Street road improvements. There may be further minor changes to the design.
