B-C's Transportation Ministry says the first half of the new five-lane Steveston Interchange is now complete.

Kelly Greene, M-L-A for Richmond-Steveston, says this marks a "major step" in improving transportation in the region, adding that once complete, it will improve connections between Highway 99 and the Steveston Highway.

The province says westbound drivers on the highway can begin using the new structure starting tomorrow morning.

It says the interchange is scheduled to be finished this fall.
