British Columbia provincial highway 9, the Agassiz Highway, is a north-south route in the eastern part of the Fraser Valley . It acts as the last connection between Highways 1 and 7 eastbound before Hope, and is the main access to the resort village of Harrison Hot Springs . The highway first opened in 1953, originally going between Yale Road in Rosedale and Highway 7, with a ferry across the Fraser River. A bridge for Highway 9 across the Fraser opened in 1956. When the section of the Highway 1 freeway east of Chilliwack opened in 1961, Highway 9 was extended south to a junction with the new Highway 1 alignment.Route details
