SURREY (NEWS 1130) – It’s great news for businesses at 152nd Street and Highway 99: Lanes that have been closed for months are expected to re-open soon.

Kiran Behl at COBS Bread says she’s elated with the news after her store — and many others in the area — lost customers as the construction kept people away.

“That’s amazing. They did really well… Considering all the damage that was on that bridge, they’ve done really well. I’m really excited.”

Behl says the bakery has lost business, as have many of the other stores in the area.

“But now, it’s onwards and upwards. What can you do? They’re trying their best to fix it, and they have. So, we look forward to what’s to come.”

Back in December, a truck with an oversized load didn’t make it underneath an overpass, causing major damage.

The Ministry of Transportation says it’s expecting the northbound lane on 152nd Street to re-open in the coming days, and both northbound lanes on Highway 99 to open after that.

The ministry adds work that still needs to be done includes finishing reconstruction of the bridge’s concrete deck and reinstalling a barrier on the highway.
