Surrey to Build 3 New Roundabouts to Ease Traffic Flow

On July 14, Surrey City Council approved a $2.3 million contract for intersection improvements, including three new roundabouts and a new turning lane. The roundabouts will be located in Newton (68th Ave & 134th St, and 76th Ave & 148th St) and Cloverdale (54th Ave & 188th St), while the upgraded intersection at 64th Ave & 148th St will feature a new southbound right-turn lane.
Mayor Brenda Locke emphasized the city’s commitment to community-driven infrastructure that improves traffic flow and safety. Transportation Director Rafael Villerreal highlighted roundabouts as a safer, more efficient alternative to stop signs or signals. The city continues to expand its road infrastructure as Surrey grows toward becoming B.C.’s largest city.
