Thanks!

I drove the entire length today. Everything is looking almost complete except for that final construction spot at the western end in Whonnock (272nd).
Jersey barriers have been installed. There is still one lane each way and the lane lines have not been painted yet, but it's getting close.

I'm undecided to toss the drone in the air this Sunday or wait till June 7th. I'll see how it looks Saturday and decide then. Can't wait for the puppy to be finished.

2 lanes each way the full length, except for the section at 272nd. No lines painted yet.

Lougheed is now 4-lanes from Vancouver to Mission.

There's still some Jersey Barriers to be installed and lines to be painted at the western end in Whonnock. If they complete these by Friday or Saturday (Jul 3 or 4), I'll toss the drone in the air this coming Sunday for a final set of videos. If not done then, I'll do it on Jul 12th.

Thanks for making all the progress videos. Having grown up in that area it's great to see the final segment finish.

I'm old enough to remember when they first widened 240th to 266th. Next I recall they built the new bridge over the Stave, eventually closed the original truss bridge, then widened 287-Silverdale with the 4 lanes over Stave River. Later they did Nelson to Oliver, then finally Nelson to Silverdale, and now finally the last segment 287-272.

I think that whole timeline took some 35ish years.

Four lanes to Mission? Well, at least we know the “when” now, Phil.

Vancouver Sun, April 21 1962. Not sure where this “2800 foot tunnel” was. That’s 0.85 kilometres.
