BC Gov’t Invests $60 million into Highway 1 Lower Lynn corridor

BC Gov’t Invests $60 million into Highway 1 Lower Lynn corridor

The government of British Columbia, along with the federal government and District of North Vancouver are investing $60 million into the highway infrastructure upgrades, which they say will not only improve travel along the Highway 1 Lower Lynn corridor but also safety, as well as reducing congestion.

โ€œThe ministry listened to constructive public feedback on this project and collaborated with the District of North Vancouver and the federal government on a plan to further improve safety and connectivity in this area, resulting in the addition of Phase 4 to the existing project,โ€ said Todd Stone, B.C.โ€™s minister of transportation and infrastructure. โ€œThis vital highway improvement project will improve traffic through the community and on Highway 1 to access B.C. Ferries and the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Squamish and Whistler.โ€

Work will include the addition of a westbound collector lane from Mount Seymour Parkway to Mountain Highway, a new two-lane bridge on each side of the existing Lynn Creek Bridge and an eastbound on-ramp from Mountain Highway onto the Trans-Canada.

The project is expected to be completed in spring 2021.
