Three Asia-Pacific Gateway projects are now complete along the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor in British Columbia, Transport Canada announced.
Construction is finished on road/rail overpasses at 54th Avenue, 196th Street and 232nd Street, which will help to ease traffic congestion through the cities of Surrey and Langley, and the township of Langley, the group said.
Transport Canada said the projects will improve road safety and increase Asia-Pacific Gateway rail capacity.
“The overpasses will improve the flow of traffic and shipments through the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor, increase trade with the Asia-Pacific region, and enhance the security and environmental sustainability of the transportation system, as well as the quality of life of neighboring residents,” Transport Canada said in a press release.
It said the three projects began in 2012, were completed on time and within budget. The projects totaled $110.4 million, with the government contributing $30.2 million.
