56 Street Repaving and Intersection Improvements
Crews are preparing to begin the repaving of 56 Street and View Crescent between 12 and 18 Avenue, including implementing additional intersection improvements at 56 Street and 16 Avenue. This multi-month project is scheduled to begin in May 2026.
Paving works will include:

- Milling and repaving of the existing road surface
Renewal of pavement markings
Intersection improvements will also require:
- Removal and replacement of signals and poles
- Underground electrical work to support the new signals
- New concrete work, including new sidewalks and curbs
Throughout this project, varying levels of traffic control will be in place as needed. For an updated timeline as work progresses, visit letstalk.delta.ca/56StreetUpgrades.
We recognize the volume of construction activity along this section of 56 Street has been significant, and sincerely appreciate residents’ patience throughout the construction. These projects represent essential investments in Delta’s infrastructure that will serve current and future generations for decades to come.
Summary of Completed Work
1. 56 Street Sanitary Upgrades (18 Avenue to 12 Avenue)
Crews have replaced the sanitary sewer south along 56 Street from 18 Avenue to 12 Avenue, as well as a sanitary main along 56 Street and View Crescent. These updates provide increased capacity for the future and improve long-term system performance and reliability. The former sanitary main has been decommissioned, and all construction activities associated with this project are now complete.
2. 56 Street Multi-Use Pathway (6 Avenue to 8A Avenue)
Construction of the new multi-use pathway (MUP) along 56 Street is now complete. Crews continue to work on the MUP extension along 8A Avenue and 55A Street, further expanding active transportation connections in the area.
3. 56 Street Fibre-Optics
To improve digital services, public wi-fi, and traffic management, fibre optic installation took place along 56 Street (east side from 19 Avenue to 10 Avenue) and 12 Avenue (south side from 56 Street to 53A Street), connecting the future Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre, the nearby field house, Tsawwassen Arts Centre, Fire Hall Number Two, and numerous intersections.
Additional Work on 56 Street
In addition to the above City of Delta projects, work is also taking place at 56 Street and 14B Avenue for the Clara House Development. Construction is projected to be completed in mid-2027 and will result in periodic single-lane closures on 56 Street, in front of the development site. Any closures will take place between 9 am and 3 pm and traffic control will be in place.
