About the project
The new toll-free eight-lane immersed tube tunnel will:
- Replace the existing George Massey Tunnel on Highway 99
- Provide three vehicle lanes and a dedicated transit lane in each direction
- Feature a separated multi-use pathway for cyclists and pedestrians that connects to active transportation routes on both sides of the Fraser River
- Maintain Fraser River navigational channel clearances
The Project also includes:
- New Deas Slough Bridge
- Retiring the existing tunnel once the new tunnel is in operation
- New connections to Highway 99 between Steveston Highway and Highway 17A
