Delta and the province have partnered to try and keep traffic moving in and out of Ladner.
The province announced Wednesday morning a number of improvements to the Highway 99 corridor.
"We're partnering with the Corporation of Delta to make a difference to safety and mobility along the Highway 99 corridor through the community," said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Mary Polak.
"This work will reduce congestion, improve safety for motorists merging onto the highway and result in better access to areas of Delta south of Highway 99."
A new off-ramp is planned at 80th Street to give drivers travelling south on Highway 99 another option for accessing Ladner Trunk Road.
At the Matthews Interchange, where Ladner Trunk Road crosses Highway 99, the acceleration lane for motorists merging onto northbound Highway 99 is slated for some improvements.
As well, the intersections of Ladner Trunk Road and Hornby Drive and Trunk Road and 96th Street will be widened to four lanes to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
The engineering and design work is already underway. Construction is expected to begin early next year and should be complete by spring 2014.
The total cost of the improvements is $7 million and will be split 50/50 between the two levels of government.
Mayor Lois Jackson said Delta's portion will come from a development fund and no local taxpayer money will go into the project.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the province to undertake these important enhancements to the local highway network," said Jackson.
