We’re carrying out phased upgrades to Drake Street from Hornby Street to Pacific Boulevard.
This first phase of work on Drake Street from Hornby Street to Howe Street includes:
- Electrical upgrades
- Street repair and restoration
This work is in coordination with the Granville Connector. After completion in 2026, Drake Street will become a one-way street for eastbound traffic only from Burrard Street to Hamilton Street. The block between Hamilton and Pacific Boulevard will remain 2 way with westbound traffic directed to turn right onto Hamilton St.
What's happeningPhase 2: Construction underway between Hornby and Granville
The construction for phase 2 is currently being completed in coordination with the Granville Connector project.
Drake Street is temporarily one-way eastbound for vehicles between Hornby Street and Howe Street, until all phases of the project are complete.
