Work is now complete upgrading road and rail connections in the Fraser Surrey area, helping boost the movement of Canadian trade such as grain and canola oil exports, and containerized and project cargo through the Port of Vancouver.

The road and rail upgrades will support more efficient cargo flows through the growing Fraser Surrey Port Lands area, including halving inbound container truck transit times and reducing port-related greenhouse gas emissions. Bulk export volumes (liquid and dry) moving through the trade area have grown by more than 80% since 2021, while container traffic jumped by more than 10% in 2025.

The Fraser Surrey Port Lands Transportation Improvements Project is the latest gateway improvement project delivered by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in partnership with industry and government. The project included extending Timberland Road South to reduce rail crossings, upgrading several intersections and rail crossings, and adding a new dedicated inbound lane for container trucks driving to the DP World Fraser Surrey terminal.
