DELTA – Ravi Kahlon, New Democrat MLA for Delta North, is welcoming provincial investments for upgrades to the Highway 91, Highway 17, and Highway 91 Connector corridors to improve safety and efficiency for travelers in Delta.

“Many drivers use Highway 91 and Highway 17 on a daily basis. Whether they are local commuters or commercial drivers, their safety is of the utmost importance,” said MLA Kahlon. “I am so happy that our government is investing in the Highway 91/17 upgrade project, because it will mean that drivers will not only be safer, but they will have to spend less time in traffic. Our government is all about delivering results that make people’s lives better.”

This project is part of a $245-million package – a partnership with the Government of Canada, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, and Tsawwassen First Nation – that includes improvements to Deltaport Way and upgrades to 27B Avenue on the Tsawwassen First Nation treaty lands. It will improve safety and travel time, provide a more reliable route through Delta, and will improve commercial and local travel in the area, reducing conflicts between commercial vehicles and other traffic.

Our New Democrat government is working hard to build a strong, prosperous, sustainable economy that works for all British Columbians.
