A section of Highway 99 in Richmond at the Steveston Interchange will be closed for several hours Monday night through to Tuesday morning.
The province says the closure will begin at 11 p.m. Monday “to allow crews to relocate Telus lines” ahead of “interchange construction.”
The closure is expected to last until about 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Traffic will be detoured through that time “up and over the existing on- and off-ramps,” the province said Monday, adding traffic may be disrupted on these ramps throughout the night.
