Ramp closures in Abbotsford along w/b Highway 1 starting tonight, with detour in place

ABBOTSFORD – The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit says there will be ramp closures on westbound Highway 1 in Abbotsford starting tonight and lasting throughout the weekend.

According to a statement from the province, westbound off-ramp closures will occur on Highway 1 and Mount Lehman Road starting Friday night, Nov. 13 at 9 p.m.

The ministry says the ramp closures are necessary to allow crews to safely complete drainage, utility work and paving.

The westbound Highway 1 off-ramps to Fraser Highway and Mount Lehman Road will remain closed throughout the weekend until 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 16. During the closure, drivers will be detoured via Clearbrook Road.

Work schedules may shift due to weather and other site conditions. In this case, work would take place the following weekend (Nov. 20-22).

As always, motorists are asked to use caution, obey signs, watch for roadside workers, and allow additional travel time through the area when diversions are underway.
