Starting March 15, 2025, the northeast and southwest loop ramps onto Highway 1 from 264th Street will be permanently closed as part of a significant construction project aimed at improving traffic flow in the Fraser Valley.

Road users are reminded to adhere to all signage and be vigilant for the presence of construction workers.
