Surrey, B.C. – July 31, 2025 – Surrey City Council, in partnership with TransLink and the Government of Canada, marked the official completion of the $44.4-million 152 Street Upgrades project with the opening of the newly twinned Nicomekl River Bridge. The major infrastructure milestone expands 152 Street to four lanes between the Nicomekl and Serpentine rivers, easing congestion and improving connectivity along one of Surrey’s busiest corridors.
The project includes a new two-lane northbound bridge, a multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists, improved transit infrastructure, and a raised roadbed to enhance flood protection. These upgrades are expected to significantly improve traffic flow, road safety, and climate resiliency along the key north-south route, which serves more than 30,000 trips daily.
“This completion will improve safety, connectivity, and traffic flow along this critical corridor that links Surrey’s communities to each other and the greater region,” said Ernie Klassen, MP for South Surrey-White Rock, speaking on behalf of the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.
Mayor Brenda Locke highlighted the importance of the upgrades: “This investment will help ease congestion, support goods movement, and address the growing transportation needs of our city. Raising the road also makes 152 Street stronger and more resilient against extreme weather events.”
TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn added, “We’re proud to support this project through our Local Government Funding Programs. It’s an investment that boosts multi-modal travel, safety, and regional mobility.”
The upgrades form a key component of the City’s Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy (CFAS) — a long-term plan to protect coastal communities from sea level rise and extreme weather.
The 152 Street Upgrades project was funded in part by TransLink and the Government of Canada’s Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.
