RFP For Abbotsford’s Vye Road Overpass Expected Soon

Abbotsford – Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun took to social media on Thursday morning with an update on the Vye Road railway overpass project that ties in with the expansion of Highway 11 to the US border.

That will include the expansion of the Nexus lane, which was given the green light in 2017.

The RFP for Vye Road should be out within the next month and after that, will come back to the City Council for comments and further action.

Construction is anticipated to start in 2019 and be completed within two years.
