It connects Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to Langley and Surrey via the Golden Ears Bridge.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Riches|first1=Al|title=13th Annual Summer Solstice Run|url=http://www.jaguarmg.com/gascovers/aug09coverstorya.pdf|journal=Classical Gas|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227080121/http://www.jaguarmg.com/gascovers/aug09coverstorya.pdf|archive-date=2012-02-27|volume=40|issue=4|page=11}}</ref> It is designed to keep traffic movements to and from the Golden Ears Bridge simple and streamlined, and intersections and interchanges have been placed with regard to accessing existing industrial and commercial areas on either side of the river in Port Kells and the Ridge-Meadows area of Maple Ridge, immediately west of Hammond.

The road is under the jurisdiction of TransLink, the organization responsible for the regional transportation network in the Greater Vancouver region.<ref>{{cite web|title=Golden Ears Bridge & Tolling Info|url=http://www.translink.ca/en/Getting-Around/Driving/Golden-Ears-Bridge.aspx|website=TransLink|accessdate=March 22, 2017}}</ref> On August 25, 2017, B.C. Premier John Horgan announced that all tolls on the Golden Ears bridge will be removed starting September 1, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lindsay|first1=Bethany|title=Tolls to be eliminated on Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/transportation-bc-1.4261972|website=CBC News|language=en|date=August 25, 2017}}</ref>

==Route details== The expressway begins at 96th Avenue just west of Highway 15 in Surrey, a major route leading to the U.S. border, and continues eastward, passing through intersections to access the Port Kells Industrial Area. The Golden Ears Way becomes a freeway after the 192nd Street intersection and links 200th Street south to Langley City Centre, before curving northward onto the Golden Ears Bridge. In Maple Ridge, interchanges have been constructed close to commercial areas; a particular focus is the interchange at Highway 7, where most Golden Ears Way traffic is expected to exit the connector. The road past Highway 7 is mostly a two-laned expressway linking to residential and agricultural areas in the north of Maple Ridge, ending at the intersection with 210th Street and continuing beyond as 128th Avenue.

==Exit list== The entire route is in Metro Vancouver. {{BCinttop|nosub1=yes|length_ref= <ref name=length>{{cite report |title=Landmark Kilometre Inventory |url=http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/driving-and-transportation/transportation-infrastructure/engineering-standards-and-guidelines/traffic-engineering-and-safety/highway-safety/lki/lki_bc_201607.pdf |pages=572–574 |website=British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure |publisher=Cypher Consulting |date=July 2016 |access-date=2017-03-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170311044605/http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/driving-and-transportation/transportation-infrastructure/engineering-standards-and-guidelines/traffic-engineering-and-safety/highway-safety/lki/lki_bc_201607.pdf |archivedate=2017-03-11 |url-status=dead }}</ref> }} {{Jctint |state=BC |location=Surrey |lspan=5 |km=0.00 |mspan=2 |road=96th Avenue |notes=Continues west }} {{Jctint |km=none |road={{jct|state=BC|Hwy|15|TCH|1|Hwy|17|to2=yes|name1=176th Street|location1=USA border|city2=Vancouver|city3=Hope|city4=Delta}} |notes=At-grade, traffic signals }} {{BCint |km=0.70 |road=180th Street |notes=At-grade, traffic signals }} {{BCint |km=1.70 |road=Golden Ears Connector, 96th Avenue Connector |notes=At-grade, traffic signals; connects to {{jct|state=BC|Hwy|17|noshield=yes}} }} {{BCint |km=3.40 |road={{Jct|state=BC|TCH|1|dir1=west|to1=yes|city1=Port Kells|city2=Vancouver|road|192nd Street}} |notes=At-grade, traffic signals }} {{BCint |location_special=Langley (township) |type=incomplete |km=5.30 |road={{Jct|state=BC|TCH|1|dir1=east|road|200th Street|to1=yes|location1=Langley (city)|city2=Hope}} |notes=Southbound exit only via 199A Street; northbound entrance only via 201st Street }} {{Jctbridge |location_special=↑ / ↓ |km=6.20 |km2=7.00 |bridge=Golden Ears Bridge over the Fraser River }} {{BCint |location_special=Pitt Meadows – Maple Ridge boundary |lspan=4 |km=8.10 |road=113B Avenue, Airport Way |notes=Interchange; to Pitt Meadows Airport }} {{BCint |km=9.10 |type=incomplete |road={{jct|state=BC|Hwy|7|to1=yes|dir1=east|city1=Maple Ridge|city2=Mission|road|Maple Meadows Way}} |notes=Northbound exit; transit only southbound entrance }} {{BCint |km=9.80 |type=incomplete |road={{jct|state=BC|Hwy|7|to1=yes|dir1=west|name1=Lougheed Highway|city1=Pitt Meadows|city2=Coquitlam|city3=Vancouver}} |notes=Partially grade separated, traffic signals; no southbound access to Hwy&nbsp;7 east }} {{BCint |km=11.30 |road=203rd Street |notes=At-grade, traffic signals }} {{Jctint |state=BC |location=Maple Ridge |lspan=2 |km=12.60 |mspan=2 |road=210th Street |notes=At-grade, traffic signals }} {{Jctint |km=none |road=128th Avenue |notes=Continues east }} {{jctbtm|keys=incomplete}}
