Highway 7 improvements completed between Maple Ridge and Mission
The Highway 7 improvement project between 266th Street and 287th Street has been completed, marking the end of the last two-lane, undivided section of the highway corridor between Maple Ridge and Mission.
The project involved widening approximately four kilometres of the highway from two lanes to four lanes. Key upgrades include the installation of a median barrier, wider shoulders to support active transportation, and new turnaround facilities to improve traffic flow and safety.
With a total budget exceeding $130 million, the project was funded by the province and the Government of Canada, which contributed nearly $31 million. The development was a collaborative effort involving the Province, the federal government, and the Kwantlen First Nation.
