A new pedestrian overpass crossing Hwy 99 in South Surrey is now under construction. The $2.4 million project is expected to be complete by December. Funding for the project is being split three ways between the City, the Province, and the Federal Government. The overpass is part of the Pioneer Greenway, a separated multi-use pathway that will eventually connect South Surrey to the Peace Arch border crossing. It will also facilitate the connection of Grandview Heights to the Semiahmoo Trail and to a planned, long term seawall that will continue along the shores of the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The arch design was chosen over the stress ribbon concept, which evoked a suspension bridge look.
