Team chosen to design eight-lane replacement for B.C.’s Massey tunnel
RICHMOND, B.C. — A team has been selected to design a new eight-lane tunnel to replace the aging George Massey Tunnel under the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver, with British Columbia’s transportation minister calling it a “huge step” for the project.
Rob Fleming says the selection of the preferred proponent for the tunnel project, Cross Fraser Partnership, means design plans can now be finalized.
A statement from Fleming’s ministry says the proponent will build on extensive design work the province has already completed, working toward a final design and construction agreement that considers the risks and costs of the massive project.
The ministry says the new toll-free tunnel will have three general-purpose lanes and one dedicated lane for public transit in each direction.
