Dewdney Trunk Road at 272 Street
The existing culvert on Dewdney Trunk Road, just west of 272 Street, will be replaced. At the same time, the intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and 272 Street will be upgraded.
Description
The intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and 272 Street is a busy thoroughfare serving residents in the area, visitors to Whonnock Lake, and travellers heading east to Mission.
There are a number of planned improvements that will mitigate flooding and erosion, most importantly a replacement of the existing culvert. The intersection itself will also be upgraded and a left turn bay will be added to enhance safety and traffic flow.
