To review a BIP subproject, select one of the highlighted highways on the map, or use the navigation bar on the left.

The Border Infrastructure Program (BIP) is a jointly funded federal-provincial initiative to improve the movement of goods to and from the Lower Mainland’s four border crossings.

The five-year, $285–million program will improve key sections of the region’s road network resulting in better links between border crossings, ports, container facilities, industrial parks, airports and railways (map).

The program consists of three main projects:

  • Highway 10/11
  • Highway 15, and
  • Highway 91/91A

Highlighted sections show each project area on the map below.

 

 
 


Why is the Border Infrastructure Project important to the B.C. economy?

  • Over 1.3 million trucks cross the BC/U.S. border each year.
  • The Highway 15 border crossing in Surrey handles 4,000 trucks a day.
  • The value of goods transported by trucks across the BC-.U.S. border exceeds $24 billion annually.
  • Road congestion drives up costs and hurts BC’s competitiveness. A recent survey of BC and Washington truckers estimated that border crossing congestion costs operators $60 million a year.
  • Roads serving the Lower Mainland’s border crossings do not operate at peak efficiency.
