| The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) project is part of the Province's Gateway Program, which will improve roads and bridges for people, goods and transit in Metro. The SFPR, approximately 40 km long, is a proposed new four-lane, 80 km/hr route along the south side of the Fraser River, extending from Deltaport Way in Southwest Delta to 176th Street, including connections to Highway 1, 91, 99 and to TransLink's Golden Ears Bridge Connector Road. The SFPR will relieve heavily congested city streets and reroute truck traffic away from residential neighbourhoods, thereby improving safety related to freight movement and restoring municipal local roads as community connectors. Project construction is scheduled for completion in 2013. The SFPR will be jointly funded by the federal and provincial governments. |
