SkyTrain Advance Works
As part of advance works to prepare for the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project, the City will be widening Fraser Highway from 96 Avenue to 148 Street.

Proposed Crescent Beach Railway Overpass
The City is exploring funding options for a railway overpass with senior levels of government and other stakeholders to improve access and safety for residents and visitors to Crescent Beach. Currently, access to Crescent Beach is routinely blocked by the BNSF railway which has caused lengthy delays and increased emergency vehicle response times. Emergency vehicle access and quicker response times are vital for Crescent Beach as the area is at risk of climate change driven flooding, coastal sea level rise and potential train derailments from increased rail traffic.

Indigenous Carving Centres

Construction for the South Surrey Indigenous Carving Centre is expected to have substantial completion summer 2022. The Carving Centre Project is a result of ongoing dialogue and consultation with Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo First Nations.
