SURREY’S roads are getting a significant upgrade after Surrey Council approved $6 million in major road paving contracts during Monday night’s regular meeting.
“The long and cold winter has taken a toll on our roads,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum on Wednesday. “The upkeep of our roads ensures that our transport network moves smoothly for our citizens whether they drive, take transit, walk or bike. That’s why Council is making the investment to keep Surrey’s road network well maintained and in a state of good repair.”
Two contracts were awarded to BA Blacktop Ltd. by Surrey Council, one in the amount of $3.3 million for Arterial and Collector Roads and the second in the amount of $2.7 million for the Major Road Network.
