How will the new local-connection lanes across the new Port Mann Bridge work?

One of the most significant improvements to traffic flow is being achieved through the design of the new Port Mann Bridge. When researching the traffic patterns for the bridge, it was found that more than 30% of traffic on the bridge is travelling between Surrey and Coquitlam. In response, the new design for the bridge has two designated “local-connection” lanes in each direction for this traffic. These lanes are separated by a barrier from the three Highway 1 through-lanes in each direction.

Drivers will make a choice whether to be in the local-connection (outside) lanes or through-traffic (inside) lanes. This design will address some of the local travel delays, and is particularly important given the projected population and employment growth in Surrey and Langley, and in many of Metro Vancouver’s northeast communities.

How many lanes will the new 152 Street overpass have?

The existing 152 Street overpass will be replaced with a new four-lane on-ramp with two local-connection lanes and two through-traffic lanes onto the bridge.

How many lanes will the new 160 Street overpass have?

The existing two-lane 160 Street overpass will be replaced with a new four-lane overpass.

How many lanes will the new 176 Street overpass have?

The existing two-lane 176 Street overpass will be replaced with a new four-lane overpass. The new Barnston Drive overpass will have two lanes, one in each direction.

Will the Park & Ride at 160 Street remain open?

Construction of the new 160 Street Park & Ride is now complete and fully operational.

Where will the RapidBus stop in Surrey and Langley?

The RapidBus service between Coquitlam/Burnaby and Langley will be a viable transportation alternative to single-occupant vehicles for people using the Port Mann Bridge. With few stops and using HOV lanes, the RapidBus will be just as fast or faster than travelling by car.

The RapidBus service will operate between the following communities:

Coquitlam/Burnaby, Surrey and Langley with connecting bus service to Abbotsford, communities north of the Fraser via the new Golden Ears Bridge and the rest of the Burrard Peninsula via connections to existing SkyTrain routes.

The PMH1 Project is working with TransLink to develop the RapidBus system. The new 202 Street Park & Ride and Transit Exchange in Langley will be the eastern hub for the new Highway 1 RapidBus. Transit users can travel from the 202 Street Park & Ride to the Lougheed Skytrain Station in less than 25 minutes.

How many new lanes are you adding to Highway 1?

Two new highway lanes are being added in each direction from the Port Mann Bridge to 200 Street in Langley. From the 200 Street Interchange to 216 Street, one new lane is being added in each direction.

How far will the new HOV lane extend?

There will be an eastbound and westbound HOV lane along the length of this project (from Vancouver to Langley). This means that in Surrey and Langley, one of the new highway lanes will be for HOV/transit vehicles only. The eastbound and westbound HOV lane will terminate at 216 Street in Langley.

Who will be able to use the new 156 Street Interchange?

The new 156 Street Interchange is an important part of expanding HOV and transit options under the PMH1 Project. As part of the project, new HOV and transit on- and off‐ramps will be constructed for eastbound and westbound access to Highway 1 at 156 Street.

Once complete, the new 156 Street interchange will include:

A new access point to Highway 1 conveniently located for residents of Fraser Heights and Guildford who can carpool.
New HOV/transit‐only ramps for both eastbound and westbound directions, providing a direct connection to Highway 1 HOV lanes for local and regional transit routes.
Left turn bays to maintain through‐traffic flow on 156 Street.

How will the new South Fraser Perimeter Road connect to Highway 1?

The new South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) will connect to Highway 1 via 176 Street. This will be the only connection point between the SFPR and Highway 1 in Surrey.

What is planned for the 192 Street Interchange in Surrey?

The City of Surrey has proposed a new full movement interchange at 192 Street instead of the planned truck-only ramps at the existing Harvie Road crossing. The PMH1 Project has been working with the City of Surrey to define changes in project scope, including designs, confirmation of cost-sharing and any additional required environmental assessment for the potential work.
