General Updates

Work is underway to improve travel along the Highway 99 corridor in advance of construction of a new, eight-lane tunnel that will replace George Massey Tunnel.

The Project team has begun geotechnical investigations in the Fraser River, which include riverbed drilling at several sites from a barge. The results will inform Project design.

This includes increasing capacity on Highway 99 that will result in three general purpose lanes and a dedicated transit lane in each direction from Westminster Highway in Richmond to Ladner Trunk Road in Delta (see notice of preload work below).
