New 20 Avenue Overpass Coming to South Surrey

The City of Surrey has approved a contract to build a new 20 Avenue overpass above Highway 99. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026.

Right now, 20 Avenue does not cross Highway 99. The road stops on both sides of the highway, which means there is no direct east-west connection in this area.

Why This Overpass Matters

The new overpass will finally connect neighbourhoods on both sides of Highway 99. This will make everyday travel easier and reduce pressure on nearby crossings.

While it improves access, this project is not a highway interchange. There will be no on-ramps or off-ramps to Highway 99.

Overpass Design Highlights

• Four vehicle lanes, two in each direction

• Multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists

• New traffic signals and street lighting

• Safer and more efficient local connections

Road Improvements Around 20 Avenue

To match the new overpass, 20 Avenue will be widened to four lanes near the highway. These upgrades will improve traffic flow and safety.

New turning lanes, traffic signals, and streetlights will also be added. A new water main crossing is included as part of the work.

Temporary Road Changes During Construction

Croydon Drive will close once construction begins. A new road alignment will be built to keep local traffic moving.

This work will move forward once the City secures the required land for construction.

Project Cost and Timeline

City Council approved a 28.75 million construction contract. Most of the funding comes from development fees, not property taxes.

Construction is expected to finish in December 2027.

Future Costco Development Nearby

A new Costco Wholesale store has been approved just southeast of the overpass site. Construction is planned to start in early 2026.

The store will be 165,000 square feet, include a gas station, and offer 975 parking stalls. More than 400 jobs are expected once it opens.

Costco-Funded Road Upgrades

Costco will fund additional road improvements to support traffic around the site. These upgrades will run alongside the City’s overpass project.

Planned improvements include:

• Widening 164 Street near the site

• Expanding sections of 20 Avenue

• New traffic signals and turning lanes

• A two-lane roundabout at 164 Street and 19 Avenue

Long-Term Plans for South Surrey Roads

South Surrey is expected to see strong population growth over the next 30 years. Much of this growth will happen east of Highway 99.

Future plans include widening 16 Avenue, improving 20 Avenue, and exploring additional highway access points to support long-term demand.
