Maple Ridge completes next phase of Abernethy Corridor Improvements project

The City of Maple Ridge has completed a key milestone of the Abernethy Way Corridor Improvements project, marking a significant step forward in the Maple Ridge Moves strategy.

“As one of the fastest-growing cities in the region, we need infrastructure that keeps pace with demand,” said Mayor Dan Ruimy. “This project reflects what’s possible through strong partnerships and a shared vision. It’s more than widening the road — it’s a step toward a better-connected city that supports new housing, transit- ready corridors, access to over 600 acres of industrial land potential and job creation. We look forward to continued collaboration with the Province as we move forward with future phases of Maple Ridge Moves.”

The Abernethy Way corridor is a key transportation and economic link to the City’s industrial lands at 256 Street and a critical secondary route for the rapidly growing Silver Valley area, which will ultimately be home to more than 11,000 residents. It also connects to Golden Ears Provincial Park — the most visited park in the province.

“Through the Growing Communities Fund, our government is helping local governments like Maple Ridge invest in the infrastructure needed to support a growing population,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs. “The completion of the Abernethy Way Corridor to 232 Street is a great example of how municipalities can use this funding to deliver real, tangible infrastructure benefits — improving traffic flow, supporting local economic development, and aligning with our shared goals for sustainable, connected communities.”

Key Features of Abernethy Expansion Phase 224 Street to 232 Street :

• A continuous four-lane corridor from 210 Street through to 232 Street
• New intersection improvements to better traffic movement and safety
• A multi-use path from 210 Street to 232 Street, including privacy screens for nearby homes
• Drainage enhancements to support increased roadway capacity
• Installation of new streetlights and trees to improve the overall look of the corridor

The Abernethy Way Corridor Improvements project is a multi-phase effort as part of the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan and its broader Maple Ridge Moves strategy. Other major projects in Maple Ridge Moves   include advancing Bus Rapid Transit on Lougheed Highway, advocating for the Golden Ears Way expansion that is owned and operated by TransLink, the construction of a future bridge to Silver Valley extending the 240 Street corridor and supporting access to and development of the north 256 Street industrial lands.

With this phase now complete, the City is in the planning phases for the next segment from 232 Street to 240 Street and continues to seek support from provincial and federal partners to advance construction.
