Heads up! The City is paving a whole pack of streets starting in April that might affect your commute!
Surrey’s roads are getting a significant upgrade after Surrey Council approved $6M in major road paving contracts during Monday night’s Regular Council Meeting.
“The long and cold winter has taken a toll on our roads,” said Mayor Doug McCallum. “The upkeep of our roads ensures that our transport network moves smoothly for our citizens whether they drive, take transit, walk or bike. That’s why Council is making the investment to keep Surrey’s road network well maintained and in a state of good repair.”
Two contracts were awarded to BA Blacktop Ltd. by Surrey Council Monday night, one in the amount of $3.3M for Arterial and Collector Roads and the second in the amount of $2.7M for the Major Road Network.
