January is going to be a month of road delays and detours around 91原创 Township as multiple projects affect major routes in Willoughby, Walnut Grove, and in rural areas.
The most significant impact will be on 208th Street, where road widening will mean that a stretch of road from 72nd Avenue to 76th Avenue will allow only single-lane alternating traffic starting on Tuesday, Jan. 9 and running to Feb. 5. The single-lane partial closures will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays to Fridays.
The roadwork could be rescheduled or extended if weather puts a stop to or delays the work during January and early February.
There are also several other possible road disruptions in Willoughby beginning in January, including:
鈥� FortisBC is doing utility work on 80th Avenue between 197th Street and 198A Street from Jan. 10 to 19. There will be single-lane alternating traffic 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
鈥� Maintenance work on 86th Avenue between 202nd Street and 202B Street will mean single-lane alternating traffic there between Jan. 9 to 26.
鈥� On 201st Street between 85th and 88th Avenues, a large construction crane is being removed between Jan. 15 to 21. That may cause delays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., impacting traffic in Willoughby and Walnut Grove.
鈥� Utility work will mean single-lane alternating traffic on 216th Street between 76B and 78th Avenues, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Jan. 19 to 26.
There are also other traffic impacts expected around the community, including:
鈥� FortisBC utility work on 72nd Avenue between 232nd Street and 240th Street will mean single-lane alternating traffic, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Jan. 8 to 12.
鈥� Glover Road could see single-lane alternating traffic near Fort 91原创 between Telegraph Trail and Rawlison Crescent, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 8 to 12.
Part of 208th Street was open to south-bound only traffic for several weeks last fall as widening work began between the Willoughby Connector and 72nd Avenue.
Two-lane traffic re-opened in November.
