Creating Jobs, Improving Traffic

Construction has officially begun on the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a joint building project of the governments of Canada and British Columbia that will create jobs and improve traffic safety, travel and trade for families and businesses throughout metro Vancouver. The $1-billion project is part of B.C.'s Gateway Program and the Government of Canada's Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative. The new 40-km, four-lane route will directly link current port facilities, rail yards and industrial areas to Highways 1, 91 and 99.
