Who: The Ministry of Transportation

Phase 1
The ministry is proposing to replace the existing George Massey Tunnel with a new, eight-lane immersed tube tunnel. Early engagement is the first phase in the environmental assessment process and provides an opportunity for Indigenous groups, the public, and stakeholders to learn more about the proposed project and provide comments.
The Fraser River Tunnel Project is one of the five projects under the Highway 99 Tunnel Program.
Phase 2
After successfully completing the Early Engagement phase of the Environmental Assessment, the project received a positive readiness decision on September 14, 2023, and is now in the process planning phase. This phase includes a public comment period, which provides an opportunity for Indigenous nations, the public, and stakeholders to determine how they want to be engaged and involved in the process.
