Construction is now underway with a $16.7-million contract to begin the new Admirals-McKenzie interchange on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Surrey's Jacob Bros. Construction are tasked with job one of the total $85 mil￾lion project, to relocate the Galloping Goose a few metres to the north and to build a new pedestrian bridge over McK￾enzie Avenue. Jacob Bros. will also install a temporary pedestrian overpass over the TCH and relocate a main waterline.

The next major construction tender will come up in 2017.

While the province has said the new McKenzie Interchange will save commut￾ers up to 22 minutes in peak traffic con￾ditions, there will be delays which are inevitable. "I urge commuters to use vigi￾lance, patience and safety and to check with DriveBC's social media upda on the project," Stone said. There also be message boards along the roi warning of major upcoming delays.
