Highway 10 is locally known as Ladner Trunk
Road and is one of the oldest routes in the Lower Fraser Valley.
It is a principal connector route from Ladner (Highway 17) to Langley
where it ends with the interchange at
232nd Street and the Trans-Canada Highway. For persons departing the
Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal and for those
in Richmond and Delta where there is a need to access Highway 1 easbound,
and going through Vancouver or
New Westminster isn't a practical option, Highway 10 is often
the route of choice.
Highway 10 also is a service route to farms in East Delta and also serves
to connect Langley with the ferry
Terminal. It is a heavily used route, with some two lane sections scheduled
for widening.
This page begins an easterly travel along Highway 10 from its begining
at the intersection of Highway 17 in Ladner
to its end with the Trans-Canada Highway at 232nd Street in Langley
Township.

The Heritage Discovery
Route is one of a few circle tours in British Columbia. This route travels
to Langley, then on to Highway 1 east to Hope and then north to Cache
Creek. From there it continues north to Prince George and then west
to Prince Rupert to meet the Inside Passage ferry to Port Hardy. From
Port Hardy the route travels down Vancouver Island to Victoria and then
north to Swartz Bay and the ferry to Tsawassen before returning to Ladner.

Highway 99A (named the King George Highway) is
a principal north south route through this part of
Surrey. Before Highway 91 was finished Highway 99A
was used largely by New Westminster and north

Highway 99A begins at Exit 2 on Highway 99, and
travels north to New Westminister and then west
into Vancouver. It was a principal highway in the 1930's
to late 1970's, and is now largely a service route.
