A year or so ago, when the initial idea of acquiring another asphalt plant farther east in the Fraser Valley was being discussed, the primary strategic goal was simple: reduce asphalt delivery times and trucking delays from our flagship Coquitlam plant, particularly those caused by congestion on Highway 1. Now that our second asphalt plant, located in the Sumas area of Abbotsford, is in full operation, we have the opportunity to see just how accurate that calculation was.

All Roads is proud to announce a major milestone at our newly acquired Sumas Asphalt Plant. On July 13, 2026, the plant successfully produced its first tonne of asphalt using an All Roads mix design. The addition of our second asphalt plant significantly expands our production capabilities, allowing us to serve communities throughout the eastern Fraser Valley—including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Aldergrove, and Hope—more efficiently and with faster response times. Together with our flagship asphalt plant in Coquitlam, the Sumas facility increases All Roads' annual asphalt production capacity to more than 650,000 tonnes, strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality asphalt products and support infrastructure projects across the region. Watch as we embrace this exciting milestone and the beginning of a new chapter for All Roads.

Yeah, we pave parking lots too… But 3XL sizes preferred! Most people know All Roads for paving major highways and busy municipal roads. But every now and then, we get a parking lot project that comes in our preferred size. Subcontracted by Conwest Contracting, our crews are currently paving a massive new parking lot for a UPS industrial facility in Surrey. Measuring approximately 317 metres wide by 123 metres deep, the project spans nearly 39,000 square metres and requires more than 9,200 tonnes of asphalt.

All Roads is proud to be contributing to the construction of British Columbia's first-ever Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) as part of the $287 million 264th Street Interchange Project. The Project, which is part of the Province of B.C.'s Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program, includes asphalt milling and paving works subcontracted to All Roads.

All Roads has successfully completed paving operations on 192 Street between 16th Avenue and 28th Avenue, delivering the project ahead of schedule as part of the City of Surrey's $30 million Campbell Heights Road Improvements Project. Working as a paving subcontractor to B&B Contracting, our crews placed nearly 20,000 tonnes of asphalt over more than three kilometres of roadway and multi-use pathways, creating a durable new surface through one of Surrey's busiest industrial corridors.

In the first half of 2026, our asphalt plant produced more than 245,000 tonnes of asphalt, compared to 122,000 tonnes during the same period in 2025. Along the way, another major milestone was reached when the plant surpassed the 2-million-tonne production mark on May 23, 2026.

An unimaginable tragedy struck the All Roads family on Saturday, June 13, 2026. We lost a dear friend and colleague, Sheldon Korell, our asphalt foreman. He was only 33 years old. When we received the heartbreaking news in the early hours of Sunday morning, we immediately shut down our asphalt plant operations and came together for an impromptu gathering. As the summer temperature climbed above 32°C, so did the emotions of those who knew and loved him. Today, we mourn not only a valued team member, but also a brother, a friend, and a member of our family. We will miss you dearly, brother.

While most of Vancouver was asleep in the early hours of May 23, a small group of night-shift workers gathered inside the cramped 50-square-foot control tower at All Roads Asphalt Plant, waiting for a number on a screen to roll over. At around 2:00 a.m., a brightly lit truck and transfer unit rolled into the plant's yard. Moments later, silo #5 began loading steaming hot mix into the trailer bed — and just like that, the 2 millionth tonne was produced. There were a few cheers, a couple of high-fives, and then everyone went right back to work.

All Roads has begun paving work on 32nd Avenue in Surrey, between 176 Street and 184 Street, as part of Phase 2 of the City of Surrey's major roadway widening project. Working as a subcontractor to Timbro Contracting, All Roads is completing the final paving stage of the transformation from a two-lane road into a modern four-lane corridor. As the final stage of construction, All Roads crews arrived on site to deliver the smooth blacktop finish that brings the entire project together. The team jokingly referred to the assignment as a "lipstick job" — an expression used to recognize that while All Roads is adding the final polished layer, the heavy lifting and major civil construction work had already been completed by Timbro Contracting. The scope of All Roads' work includes placing 8,000 tonnes of 19 mm Superpave base lift, 6,000 tonnes of 12.5 mm Superpave top lift, and 1,500 tonnes of paving for the multi-use pathway. In addition, the team completed GPS fine grading across approximately 25,000 square metres. The paving subcontract is valued at more than $1.7 million.

Two months into the Arbutus Greenway and West 41st Avenue intersection rebuild, the project has moved decisively into its hardscaping phase - ahead of schedule. We're installing approximately 500 metres of concrete banding and around 2,000 square feet of new sidewalks and hard surfaces.

At the heart of Kerrisdale, one of the City of Vancouver's most vibrant and active neighbourhoods, All Roads Construction is delivering the full reconstruction of the Arbutus & W 41st Avenue intersection - a transformative $8.4 million project with an expected 9-month construction schedule.

The project includes installation of new underground infrastructure and drainage systems, upgraded electrical/traffic signal works, full road realignment, new curbs and sidewalks, bike paths, and extensive landscaping enhancements.

Once complete, the intersection will provide safer, more accessible, and more resilient infrastructure for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users alike.

For three consecutive years, All Roads has maintained one of the lowest employee turnover rates in the road-building industry.

According to the 2025 IBISWorld Report, British Columbia’s road-building sector includes 606 businesses employing more than 10,246 people. At the same time, the 2025 ICBA Survey reveals that 72% of B.C. contractors are facing a severe shortage of skilled tradespeople.

Together, these pressures have pushed average employee turnover in the road construction industry to an astonishing 78%.

Against this backdrop, All Roads' employee turnover rates tell a very different story:

- 2025: 6.45%
- 2024: 4.58%
- 2023: 6.19%
