Why there are so many road construction projects in Downtown Langley City

Many construction projects are happening right now in Langley City. One question that has come up recently is why there is so much road construction in the Downtown area on 56th Avenue, Michaud, and Fraser Highway.

Two significant projects are starting soon: the Fraser Highway One Way renewal project and SkyTrain. The City wanted to wrap up as many other projects in the downtown area as possible before those two major projects got going.

I imagine many more people will use 56th Avenue during SkyTrain construction, and that road should be fully restored by the end of this month.

Industrial Avenue will be one of the major construction areas for SkyTrain, so we want the other east/west routes to be open before construction starts.

Other Langley City projects are under construction or about to start. The City recently updated our construction information signs so you can easily find the latest information about a project. You can also visit the project information section of Langley City’s website at any time.

I'm super proud of our work to keep Langley City’s roads, parks, facilities, and trails in good repair and of our overall investment in our community. I also acknowledge that construction projects do cause disruptions.

When does the Mihuand crescent greenway project begin ? Also when can we expect the bridge between brydon crescent to the greenway start ? We live in the area and love the Brydon park. But it’s a bit far compared to linwood park.

The Michaud Project is already underway. I'm following up on the bridge, but the plan was to pay for it from development project contributions along Brydon Crescent. There are still a few lots left for redevelopment.

When are they going to finish the construction on 56Ave between 200St and 203St. It has been going for an extremely long time. They have dug up the same patch of road over 3 times now. do they know how to do the job or what?

There was soil contamination which delayed the project, but it should be wrapped up at the end of September
