Highway 11 in Abbotsford opens to commercial vehicle traffic

Highway 11, between Hazelwood Avenue and Clayburn Road, is open to commercial vehicle traffic, supporting the movement of goods and services between the Sumas border, Abbotsford and Mission.

This stretch of highway was reopened to passenger and emergency vehicles on Dec. 6. Traffic is moving on the two southbound lanes of Highway 11 using a single lane in each direction. Drivers should expect a slower commute and delays.

The two northbound lanes remain closed until the highway can be repaired. A timeline for these repairs has not been determined.

Although it is not subject to the essential travel order, people are asked to limit unnecessary travel on Highway 11 to support safe movement on the corridor and access for goods and services.

All drivers are asked to use extra caution, follow signage and obey all traffic-control measures.
