The Fraser River Tunnel Project includes a new, eight-lane immersed tube tunnel that will replace the existing George Massey Tunnel on Highway 99. The new tunnel will have three vehicle lanes and a dedicated transit lane in each direction, with a separated active transportation corridor for cyclists and pedestrians.
The project also includes replacing the Deas Slough Bridge and decommissioning of the existing tunnel once the new immersed tube tunnel is in operation.
- Status: Since September 2024, significant work has been completed, including preparatory construction work, site investigation and the design of the tunnel. The Province expects the Environmental Assessment Office to complete its review of the project before the end of 2026. The Province is now procuring for the construction phase, with major construction still expected to begin in 2027.
- Project Budget: $4.15 billion
- Schedule: Construction starting in 2026 and Project completion in 2030.
