Dual Traffic Resumes on Highway 1 in Abbotsford
Traffic on Highway 1 in Abbotsford has resumed with the opening of one eastbound lane and both westbound lanes. This development occurred following a series of recent storms that impacted highway conditions.
Lane Openings on Highway 1
On December 14, 2025, a single eastbound lane between Highway 11 and No. 3 Road became operational, while the two westbound lanes were opened the evening prior, on December 13. Motorists are advised to follow slower speed limits through the area and to allow extra travel time.
Traffic Safety Measures
Given that only one lane is available for eastbound traffic, drivers should prepare for potential delays and drive with caution. The highway’s infrastructure still shows signs of vulnerability due to the recent storms.
Weather Monitoring and Traffic Updates
As flood waters have receded, the Ministry of Transportation and Transit is actively monitoring the weather and highway performance. This assessment will help determine when the second eastbound lane can safely reopen.
With additional rain forecasted, there is a possibility that roads could close again if conditions worsen. For real-time traffic updates, drivers can check resources like El-Balad for the latest information.
