British Columbia Premier Christy Clark on Sept. 28 detailed plans to invest more than $200 million in capital projects across the province, including replacing the George Massey Tunnel and widening the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border.
Port Metro Vancouver welcomed the plan, as the tunnel has long restricted the draft of ocean-going ships on the Fraser River, which has in turn stunted growth in terminals such as Fraser Surrey Docks. Robin Silvester, port president and CEO, expects replacing the tunnel to increase trade opportunities for those terminals.
