However, as it turns out, the overpass was NOT OPEN to Tannery or 104, nor could you go further down to Old Yale / 128. As well, the overpass did NOT connect through to the Surrey Docks.
Instead, it was just a big loop that turned everyone around and sent them back onto Hwy 17... WB now. The people installing the median K-Rails were very efficient and had blocked off Elevator Road, so anyone going to 103 Ave and got confused had to drive ALL THE WAY BACK TO NORDEL WAY!!! (yes, caps and extraneous exclamation points are both necessary).
Dumb, dumb, dumb. With more than a billion flaggers out, why wasn't someone holding a sign that said "TURN THIS WAY DUMMIES!"?

Calm down.
This was a temporary condition to facilitate the closure of the NB turn movement from EB Hwy 17 at Elevator Rd. What you didn't notice was all the trucks that required this loop to get to the Fraser/Surrey docks as the Elevator Rd. intersection is now a Right in/Right out.
For the record, there is a large sign at Elevator Rd. indicating "103 A Ave" (Exit 32) in 1200 m. Then there's another sign just before 103A that says "Exit 32".
Not that it matters anyways, Hwy 17 is now open from the Nordel Connector to Bridgeview Dr. one lane in either direction.
