Pair of Highway 1 off-ramps in Abbotsford to be closed for part of this weekend

ABBOTSFORD – The province is notifying Fraser Valley motorists that two off-ramps from westbound Highway 1 in Abbotsford will be closed for part of this weekend.

In a statement, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit says the westbound Highway 1 off-ramps to Fraser Highway and Mount Lehman Road will be closed starting Friday night at 9 p.m. through to 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The same closures will occur starting at 9 p.m. on Saturday night, Oct. 24, until 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 26.

During the closures, drivers will be detoured via Clearbrook Road.

The province says these ramp closures are necessary to allow crews to safely complete drainage and utility works, and paving.

Work schedules may shift due to weather and other site conditions, the province says.

Drivers are reminded to use caution, obey signage and watch for roadside workers. Allow for additional travel time through the area when diversions are underway.
