Business & Industry

MAJOR INDUSTRIAL AREAS Surrey’s industrial areas offer a strategic location with access to Metro Vancouver, the United States, and Asia-Pacific markets. Six major highways, three railways, the Fraser Surrey Docks deep-water port, and SkyTrain rapid transit provide efficient movement of goods and people. Surrey’s industrial areas will benefit from provincial and federal funding for the Gateway Program, which includes major transportation projects such as the South Fraser Perimeter Road and the new Port Mann Bridge.

Port Kells Port Kells is a well- established industrial area and home to over 458 businesses. Highway 15 provides a direct connection to the US border and is adjacent to Highway 1, a major east/west trucking route. The South Fraser Perimeter Road also runs through this area improving access to the Fraser Surrey Docks, the Delta Port, Highway 1, Translink’s Golden Ears Bridge and other major industrial parks in Metro Vancouver. Newton Industrial areas in Newton have excellent access to major transportation corridors: Scott Road, King George Boulevard, and Highway 10. The area is well served by the Southern Railway and the Fraser Surrey Docks, a deep- water port located within a 20 minute drive. Newton is home to over 5,200 businesses.
