Highway 13 is a simple 12 km-long two-lane route through the eastern part of Langley. Highway 13 essentially serves the function of quick access from Washington state to the central Fraser Valley, and vice versa. Highway 13 first opened in 1958 between the Canada/United States border and the present day Highway 1A, and was extended north to the present day Highway 1 in 1968.
