Fraser River Tunnel Project
Project Description
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 will be delivered through a collaborative Progressive Design-Build with Target Price model that will ensure early contractor involvement through a Design Early Works Agreement (DEWA) and effective and manageable risk allocation in the final Design-Build Agreement (DBA).
