The provincial agency overseeing the Surrey–Langley SkyTrain has scheduled a temporary closure of 64th Avenue north of Fraser Highway to accommodate construction of the elevated guideway, affecting traffic patterns and pedestrian movement along the Surrey–Langley boundary.

Dates, hours and affected movements

The Transportation Investment Corporation (TIC) says the closure will be in place from July 16 to July 20, with construction activity running between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. each day. No work is planned for July 19.

  • No vehicle access to or from 64th Avenue north of Fraser Highway during construction hours.
  • Turn restrictions to or from Fraser Highway will be enforced 24 hours a day while the temporary pattern is active.
  • No access from 192nd Street to 64th Avenue and Fraser Highway.
  • 192nd Street access from 64th Avenue westbound permitted for local traffic only.
  • Alternate routes provided via 188th Street, 194th Street, 68th Avenue and 196th Street.

Pedestrians, cyclists and businesses

The TIC emphasised adjustments for people on foot and bicycle: pedestrians are to use the crosswalk on the south side of Fraser Highway to cross 64th Avenue, and cyclists are expected to share the road. The pedestrian change will remain in place through October 2026, according to the release. The corporation also said business access will be maintained at all times, and normal access on 64th Avenue will be restored after 10 p.m. each day during the work period.

Local impacts and travel advice

Motorists should anticipate delays and plan alternate routes during the stated hours. The temporary restrictions—particularly the 24-hour turn limitations onto Fraser Highway—could reroute commuter traffic and increase volumes on adjacent streets noted by TIC. Residents who use 64th Avenue to access the Fraser Highway corridor should be prepared for added travel time and altered access points until the work wraps up each night.

Item Details
Closure dates July 16–20, 2026 (no construction July 19)
Daily hours 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Pedestrian change Crosswalk on south side of Fraser Highway; in effect until Oct. 2026

Where to get more information

The TIC directed people to the project website for further details: surreylangleyskytrain.gov.bc.ca. Drivers and local businesses are advised to check updates before travelling and to follow signage and traffic control personnel in the area.

The closure is part of ongoing works to install the elevated guideway for the SkyTrain extension; while brief, the operation underlines continuing construction impacts along key east–west corridors in northern Surrey as the transit project advances.
