72nd Avenue Extension: Surrey’s Biggest Road Investment
72nd Avenue is Changing How Surrey Moves and Bute is Right in the Middle of It
One of Surrey’s biggest roadway investments is already underway. For future residents at Bute, that’s worth paying attention to.
When you’re choosing a home, location matters. And so does what’s happening around it.

A New East-West Connection Across Surrey
The City of Surrey is extending 72nd Avenue from 152nd Street to Highway 15, adding roughly five kilometres of new road and creating a significant east-west corridor across the city. It’s the largest road investment Surrey has delivered to date, and it’s designed to serve the city’s long-term growth, not just today’s traffic.
The extension will better connect Newton, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, and Clayton, giving residents more ways to move across Surrey without relying on the same congested routes. The city also expects it to ease pressure on busy parallel corridors like Highway 10, 64th Avenue, and 88th Avenue, which means fewer delays during rush hour and more predictable travel times overall.
Built for Everyone, Not Just Drivers
This isn’t a road built just for cars. The 72nd Avenue extension is being planned with four lanes and full movement capacity to support drivers, transit users, cyclists, and pedestrians. That kind of multi-modal infrastructure signals a community that’s thinking about how people actually live, not just how they commute.
What This Means for BUTE Residents
Whether you’re heading to work, school, the grocery store, or meeting friends across the city, better road access makes those everyday trips faster and less frustrating. And as Surrey continues to grow, being connected to a major new corridor from day one puts Bute residents in a strong position.
This is the kind of infrastructure that quietly improves daily life in ways you notice every single day.
