  • Highway 99 overnight closure in Delta

The provincial government is warning drivers about lane closures overnight on Highway 99 in Delta.

Crews will be moving a large industrial crane across the highway for the 78th-Street-Interchange construction project.

The province says Highway 99 will remain open to single-lane traffic in both directions, but there will be rolling closures of northbound and southbound lanes as the crane travels across the highway.

The disruption is expected to end by 5 a-m tomorrow.
