With the Abbotsford International Airshow bringing aviation experts and flight enthusiasts to the City this weekend, the City of Abbotsford is encouraging people travelling to Abbotsford or through the Fraser Valley to plan ahead and arrive early to their destination.

The Trans-Canada Highway 1 and major routes through the community will have additional traffic between Friday, August 9 and Sunday, August 11, 2024.

Abbotsford International Airshow attendees are encouraged to carpool with friends and family and use public transit whenever possible.
