THE City of Vancouver says that road rehabilitation work across approximately six kilometres of major routes is set to be begin next month, representing a capital investment of more than $15 million.
“Investing in road maintenance is about taking care of the basics that residents rely on daily,” says Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. “Rehabilitation projects like this help maintain a safe and reliable road network and helps extend the lifespan of our roads so they can continue to serve Vancouverites into the future.”
Alongside repaving work, the City is also making other upgrades to improve safety and comfort for those who walk, bike, take transit and drive along these key corridors.
Projects kicking off this spring include:

Projects in South Cambie and West Point Grey are being delivered in partnership with TransLink, through its Major Road Network program.
With a vast network of more than 1,400 kilometres of roadways citywide – including regional transit corridors, major arterial roads and local streets – the City carries out year-round maintenance and rehabilitation work to help keep road users moving.
Rehabilitation projects such as these are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain and renew core infrastructure across Vancouver, guided by the 2023–26 Capital Plan. This is in addition to the City’s regular maintenance work to keep streets safe and clear, including filling potholes, sealing cracks and emergency repairs.
When a street is fully repaved, the old roadway surface is removed from curb to curb and replaced with new asphalt or concrete, creating a smoother, safer, and longer-lasting driving surface. Most paving projects happen from May to October when the weather is warmer and drier, which allows the asphalt to cure faster, ensuring a smoother finish and durable roadway.
While paving and upgrade work is underway, temporary traffic restrictions will be in place, with local signage in place to inform pedestrians, road users and cyclists of impacts.
If travelling through these project areas, expect delays and be sure to follow these traffic tips:
- Open your map app, follow #VanTraffic or use traffic cameras to check traffic conditions along your route before you travel.
- Follow posted signage, including “No parking” and detour signs.
- To stay ahead of road closures throughout the city, check visit our road closures page.
- Visit translink.ca/alerts for changes to your bus service.
