Surrey-Langley SkyTrain construction causes road closures

Construction on the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is causing significant traffic disruptions in British Columbia. Between October 27 and October 28, Industrial Avenue in Langley will face partial closures between 201A Street and 203 Street from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to facilitate guideway work, including concrete pouring and track installation near the future Langley City Centre Station.

Additionally, overnight and weekend work is scheduled from October 27 to November 8 at 140 Street and Fraser Highway. These closures, occurring between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., are necessary to allow a launching gantry to install the guideway. Drivers should expect detours and limited access to Laurel Drive, with alternate routes including 96 Avenue, 100 Avenue, and King George Boulevard.

Project officials have implemented noise mitigation measures, such as turning down operational alarms and directing lighting toward work sites, to minimize the impact on local residents.
