Map of Highway 91 at 17 and Deltaport Way Upgrade Project

The Highway 91/17 and Deltaport Way Upgrade Project is a combination of improvements to existing Highway 91, Highway 17, Highway 91 Connector and Deltaport Way to improve travel safety and efficiency.

These upgrades will improve local and commercial travel in the area, reduce conflicts between commercial vehicles and other traffic. They also complement the completed 72nd Avenue Interchange Project and the Alex Fraser Bridge Improvements.

Project benefits

Major improvements include:

  • Highway 91 at Nordel interchange – Upgraded ramps to and from Delta, improved acceleration and deceleration lanes, and additional through lanes for Nordel Way traffic crossing over Highway 91; improved access to and from the commercial vehicle-inspection and truck parking area
  • Highway 17 and Highway 91 Connector – a new interchange
  • River Road connection – Replacement of the existing signalized intersection and eliminating the need for an at-grade rail crossing to access the highway
  • 27B Avenue to Deltaport Way – access improvements and upgrades between Deltaport Way and 41B Street
  • 80th Street at Highway 17 intersection – upgrading the connection from 80th Street to Highway 17 westbound, improving merging and reducing queuing

The design-builder of the Highway 91/17 upgrades, Pacific Gateway Constructors (PGC), employed an all-local workforce. PGC also awarded more than $16 million in contract value to local Indigenous businesses and partnerships through subcontracting opportunities.

Project cost

$260 million with joint funding from the National Infrastructure component of the New Building Canada Fund, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the Province of B.C., and Tsawwassen First Nation.
