Surrey, BC – During the Regular Council Meeting on Monday, Surrey City Council will consider the first contract as part of a larger $29.5M investment for the Campbell Heights Road Improvements program. Council will vote Monday on the first $1.2M contract for Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. The project scope includes arterial four-lane widenings on significant roads such as 16 Avenue, 192 Street, and 24 Avenue, alongside collector road upgrades on 28 Avenue. This work is part of a comprehensive initiative to modernize the transport landscape, accommodating the community's growth and increasing traffic needs.

“Through this project, we are taking a decisive step forward in enhancing transportation infrastructure in the rapidly developing Campbell Heights industrial area,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “With Surrey having more available industrial land than anywhere else in the region, it is crucial that we invest in the necessary infrastructure to support this growth. We are committed to investing in transportation systems that not only encourage economic expansion but also enhance the quality of life for our residents. By prioritizing these improvements, we are ensuring that Campbell Heights remains a competitive and attractive destination for businesses, ultimately benefiting the entire community.”

The roadwork includes widening the road corridors to include additional travel lanes, improved traffic movements at intersections, and integrated cycling-walking facilities. The consultant agreement for this first contract includes detailed design services along with construction administration and inspection services required during construction of this project, subject to Council approval of a construction contract award in the future.

In line with responsibly managing the city’s natural resources, the city is also actively working to minimize the impact on existing trees while implementing the necessary road expansions. The design process will focus on narrowing road corridors to limit tree removal as much as possible.

The completion of the initial design work is anticipated by Spring 2025, with the phased construction expected to commence in Summer 2025 and finalize by the end of 2026. This timeline is designed to efficiently address the ongoing infrastructure needs while minimizing disruption to the community.

Funding for this contract is available in the 2024 Transportation Budget.
