Old Yale Road Improvements

Outcomes

Township of Langley Council has approved funding for the detailed design of the reconstruction option for Old Yale Road with the inclusion of approximately 150 metres of concrete road commemoration, a heritage interpretation feature, and traffic calming. Detailed design is underway and anticipated to be completed in 2024 with construction to follow pending funding approval.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Old Yale Road Improvements Open House to learn more about options to upgrade Old Yale Road between Fraser Highway and 216 Street. Residents had an opportunity to see possible improvements and provide feedback to the Township of Langley as it considers potential Old Yale Road upgrades. People also shared their preferred improvement option for the road through an online survey.

Open house

Thank you to all those who attended the open house on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 from 4-7pm at James Hill Elementary School at 22144 Old Yale Road.

Heritage

Old Yale Road is an important part of the Murrayville community and significant to early road building in BC. This concrete road, originally constructed in 1922, is facing deterioration and requires a long-term plan that takes into account the needs of its users and its unique historic attributes.

In 1897, the road was gravelled but it was not until 1922 that more lasting improvements were made through the pouring of concrete segments between Glover Road/Fraser Highway and 216 Street. These concrete panels were very likely the first use of concrete as a road surface in British Columbia.

Old Yale Road has been the focus of multiple heritage conservation efforts. In 1993, it was added to the Township’s Heritage Inventory as an important early transportation link. In 2008, it was added to the Township’s Heritage Register. In 2010, it was designated as part of the Murrayville Heritage Conservation Area Community Plan.

Improvement options

The following options are being considered:

Conservation option: This option will retain a portion of the road in place and proposes to close the roadway to through vehicular traffic while permitting pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency vehicles on the road.

Commemoration option: This option will involve the reconstruction of a portion of the roadway in concrete in recognition of its historic past while bringing the road up to modern standards.

Reconstruction option: This option will involve the reconstruction of the roadway in asphalt, similar to other roadways and includes the addition of marked on-street bike lanes.
