This 40‑kilometre four‑lane road will connect Deltaport to Highway 1 and the Golden Ears Bridge and be a designated east‑west truck route to enhance international freight movement and reduce impacts on municipal roads.
It is primarily a new 40 kilometre four-lane route along the south side of the Fraser River extending from Deltaport Way (Highway 17) in southwest Delta to 176th Street (Highway 15) and the Golden Ears Bridge in Surrey/ Langley. The South Fraser Perimeter Road would be an 80km/hour route linking primary facilities such as the Vancouver Port Authority’s Deltaport Container Terminal, the Fraser River Port Authority’s Fraser Surrey Docks, Canadian National’s intermodal yard and numerous industrial areas.
All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.
All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
"The South Fraser Perimeter Road is a concrete example of how two levels of government are working together to take the steps needed to protect Canada’s economy today and strengthen its foundations for the future."- Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada
