Project Overview

Working closely with the City of Chilliwack, we executed a comprehensive upgrade to enhance one of Chilliwack’s busiest intersections. Work included road widening, expanded turn lanes, upgraded traffic signals, street lighting, new sidewalks, curbing, improved pavement markings, and essential drainage enhancements.

Strategic staging and meticulous phasing were essential due to the intersection’s heavy traffic flow and complex logistics. Our careful planning minimized disruptions, ensuring safe and efficient execution while maintaining continuous traffic flow and community accessibility.

  • 260 metres of roadway widening and new dedicated turn lanes
  • Complete upgrade of intersection lighting and traffic signal infrastructure
  • Enhanced pedestrian facilities, including sidewalks and crosswalks
  • Comprehensive drainage system improvements to ensure long-term reliability
