DELTA, B.C. – Permanent repairs to the Highway 17A crossing over Highway 99 in Delta, B.C. began Jan. 8.
The Highway 17A crossing over Highway 99 was damaged on July 18, 2023, when struck by an over-height vehicle. The repairs to the crossing will be extensive, involving demolition and girder installation. It is expected repairs will take until early March to complete, depending on the weather, a Government of B.C. release said.
When Highway 99 southbound is closed to accommodate demolition and girder work at the Highway 17A crossing, southbound traffic on Highway 99 must detour via Highway 17A southbound to Ladner Trunk Road and rejoin Highway 99 southbound at the Mathews Interchange.
When Highway 17A southbound is closed, drivers who want to cross Highway 99 from the River Road direction must detour north through the George Massey Tunnel to Steveston Interchange, and back southbound on Highway 99 to Highway 17A southbound.
Maps of detour routes are available on the BC ministry of transportation and infrastructure website.
