/Surrey, then turning north onto Scott Road. The section west of King George Highway was built over the following years by the provincial government. The bypass of the Langley city centre opened on July 14, 1966, and was accompanied on its first day by several collisions—seriously injuring two people and killing one person. When the bypass first opened it only went as far east as Glover Road. In 1967, the highway was re-aligned to continue on the Langley bypass and other roads to a junction with Highway 1 at 232nd Street. On August 28, 1980, the non Highway 10 section of Langley Bypass between Glover Road and

was officially opened. In 2003, all sections of Highway 10 west of the

interchange were removed from the provincial highway system; this was done to keep large trucks off the road and out of rural Delta. The municipality of Delta now maintains this segment of the old highway, now only known as Ladner Trunk Road (locally, it is still referred to as part of Highway 10).
