Highway 10 is a minor east-west route through the southern portion ofGreater Vancouver.[2] Highway 10 is used mainly as a local access route inNorth Delta,Surrey andLangley, its former connector role between South Delta andHighway 1 having been taken over by theHighway 17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road).
Highway 10 travels for a total length of 26.6 km (16.5 mi) from North Delta toLangley. In the west, the highway begins at an interchange withHighway 91 as a continuation of the Ladner Trunk Road. It travels northeast before turning onto 58 Avenue as it crosses from Delta into Surrey near Watershed Park. Highway 10 then travels through residential neighborhoods inNewton and dips south to intersectKing George Boulevard in a split junction near a courthouse complex.[3]
The highway continues east on 56 Avenue through a rural zone before reachingCloverdale, where it intersectsHighway 15. Highway 10 then crosses into theCity of Langley and travels around the north side of the city centre on the Langley Bypass. The bypass intersects theFraser Highway at theWillowbrook Shopping Centre and continues east through an industrial and retail area towards the outskirts of the city. Highway 10 leaves the bypass near theKwantlen Polytechnic University Langley campus, turning northeast to followGlover Road intoLangley Township.[3]
Highway 10 continues northeast through a rural area of Langley Township and turns east onto Springbrook Road near theTrinity Western University campus. The highway then turns north onto 232 Street and terminates at a cloverleaf interchange withHighway 1.[3]
Highway 10 was first commissioned in 1953, following its current alignment from Ladner east to Scott Road inDelta/Surrey, then turning north onto Scott Road.[citation needed] The section west of King George Highway was built over the following years by the provincial government.[4]
The bypass of the Langley city centre opened on July 14, 1966, and was accompanied on its first day by several collisions—seriously injuring two people and killing one person.[5][6] When the bypass first opened it only went as far east as Glover Road.[7]
In 1967, the highway was re-aligned to continue on the Langley bypass and other roads to a junction with Highway 1 at 232nd Street.[citation needed]
On August 28, 1980, the non Highway 10 section of Langley Bypass between Glover Road andFraser Highway was officially opened.[8]
In 2003, all sections of Highway 10 west of theHighway 91 interchange were removed from the provincial highway system; this was done to keep large trucks off the road and out of rural Delta. The municipality of Delta now maintains this segment of the old highway, now only known asLadner Trunk Road (locally, it is still referred to as part of Highway 10).
The entire route is inMetro Vancouver Regional District.
