Highway 91 is an alternative freeway route to Highway 99 through Delta, New Westminster and Richmond. The highway was built in two sections, the first section from Delta to East Richmond in 1986, and the second section across Richmond in 1989.
It was the highest numbered highway in British Columbia that is not derived from a continuation of a US highway, until the designation of Highway 118 in 2003.
Route details
The total distance covered by Highway 91 is 22 km (14 mi). Starting at its junction with Highway 99 in East Delta, the route travels north for 2 km (1¼ mi) to a junction with Highway 10, then north for 10 km (6 mi) through one interchange and one intersection, over the Alex Fraser Bridge onto Annacis Island, and through another interchange. Highway 91 then crosses the Annacis Channel bridge into Richmond, at which point it veers west. At the southern entrance to Highway 91, the road is named "Annacis Hwy", however, that name is not commonly used.
In Richmond, where Highway 91 is termed the "East-West Connector" or the "Richmond Freeway", the route travels west for 10 more km (6 mi), through a junction with Highway 91A and two more interchanges, until it terminates just past its Richmond junction with Highway 99 at Alderbridge Way.
A new interchange at 72 Ave. in Delta has been proposed to upgrade Highway 91 into a full freeway. Possibly exit numbers will be added to signage.
