Welcome to the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project

​The Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project includes construction of a new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge, removing the existing crossing, widening the highway, upgrading interchanges and improving access and safety on Highway 1. The project spans a distance of approximately 37 kilometres from the McGill Street Interchange in Vancouver to 216 Street in Langley.

Additional elements of the project include the widening of seven highway overpasses, the replacement of nine highway interchanges, and the creation of five special purpose truck/transit ramps. At the Cape Horn Interchange alone, the number of overpasses and underpasses will have grown from four to 15.

Following some early work in the summer of 2008, construction began in March 2009 and the new Port Mann Bridge will be operational by Winter 2012/13, with the project scheduled to be complete by the end of 2013.

In keeping with the Provincial Transit Plan and commitment to alternative transportation, the project includes congestion-reduction measures such as high occupancy vehicle lanes, transit and commercial vehicle priority measures, and improvements to the cycling network. The project will also provide for a Highway 1 RapidBus service, a joint initiative of the Province and TransLink, with service between Langley and Burnaby in less than 25 minutes.
