Surrey’s road network could soon see major improvements as city council votes tonight on a new package of intersection upgrades in both North and South Surrey.
A corporate report from Scott Neuman, Surrey’s general manager of engineering, recommends awarding a $3,395,516.25 contract to Crown Contracting Ltd. for construction. Council will also be asked to set a spending limit of $3,651,067.88 to cover the full scope of work at two key intersections: King George Boulevard and 108 Avenue in North Surrey, and 148 Street and 16 Avenue in South Surrey.
Along with the primary construction contract, staff recommend additional consulting agreements. McElhanney Ltd. would receive $92,961.75 (limit $102,260) for the north project, while R.F. Binnie & Associates Ltd. would be awarded $39,406.50 (limit $43,350) for the south project.
At King George Boulevard and 108 Avenue, improvements include dual northbound and southbound left-turn lanes to reduce congestion, as well as a redesigned pedestrian island to shorten crossing distances and improve sightlines for turning vehicles. The project also incorporates utility coordination, including installation of ducting for undergrounding BC Hydro 3-phase wiring to support City Centre’s ongoing beautification efforts.
Meanwhile, the 148 Street and 16 Avenue project will rebuild the traffic signal to enhance traffic flow and safety. If approved, construction will run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, starting in October and scheduled for completion by February.
These upgrades mark another step in Surrey’s commitment to easing congestion, improving safety, and investing in infrastructure for a growing city.
