The City of Surrey has officially completed the long-anticipated Nicomekl River Bridge twinning, a key milestone in the $44.4-million 152 Street Upgrades project. This transformative infrastructure project delivers a new two-lane northbound bridge, widening 152 Street from two to four lanes between the Nicomekl and Serpentine rivers.
Key Improvements Along 152 Street
The upgrades are designed to improve safety, reduce congestion, and strengthen the corridor’s resilience against flooding. Highlights include:
A new northbound bridge to expand traffic capacity.
A multi-use path for walking and cycling.
Upgraded transit shelters for riders.
A raised roadway to enhance flood protection and withstand extreme weather.
Together, these enhancements support safer travel, improved connectivity, and more efficient movement of people, goods, and services along one of Surrey’s busiest north-south routes.
Federal and Local Leaders Highlight Benefits
“This project reflects our commitment to building resilient infrastructure that serves our communities today and for generations to come,” said Ernie Klassen, MP for South Surrey–White Rock, speaking on behalf of the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada.
Mayor Brenda Locke emphasized the project’s importance for Surrey’s growing population:
“The new bridge brings much-needed capacity to a vital corridor that serves over 30,000 trips a day — whether by drivers, transit riders, or commercial vehicles. This investment eases congestion, supports goods movement, and improves flood resilience.”
Partnership for Better Transit and Mobility
TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn also recognized the project’s multi-modal benefits:
“This project improves road safety, congestion, and goods movement while expanding travel options for residents. TransLink is proud to support these vital upgrades through our Local Government Funding Programs.”
Strengthening Surrey’s Climate Resilience
The 152 Street Upgrades form part of the first phase of Surrey’s award-winning Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy (CFAS), a long-term plan to prepare the city for coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Project Funding
Funding was provided in partnership with TransLink and the Government of Canada’s Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund, reinforcing the shared commitment to sustainable and resilient community growth.
