Additional lanes, median barrier improve safety on Highway 7

The project to widen and add a safety barrier to a stretch of Highway 7 in Mission has been completed, removing one of the most dangerous bottlenecks in Maple Ridge.

With less congestion and a safer highway, we’re making life better for people who live and work on the north side of the Fraser River between Maple Ridge and Mission.

3.6km of Highway 7 have been widened from two to four lanes. A median barrier has also been added between Silverdale Avenue and Nelson St.

You can see the completed project in the video below.

The Government of Canada is contributing up to $22.45 million and the Province is supplying the remaining $47.55 million of this $70 million investment into Highway 7.

Drive safe!
