The 10-lane bridge project that would have replaced the aging George Massey Tunnel won't proceed. Instead, the current crossing will undergo some upgrades and the regional mayors will be consulted on options.
The province confirmed that the project initiated by the previous Liberal government is dead in a long-awaited announcement this morning by Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, and consultant Stan Cowdell. Options include a smaller bridge, another tunnel as well as keeping the current crossing as part of the new solution.
