South Fraser Perimeter Road
The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is a billion dollar freeway running along the south side of the Fraser River from Deltaport Way in Southwest Delta to 176th Street (Hwy 15) in Surrey. This freeway will run along the edges of Burns Bog, disrupting the natural hydrology and hydrochemistry, and destroying and fragmenting wildlife and their habitat. Click here to learn more. There are alternatives to this road and location.
