Five Metro Vancouver mayors and the leaders of two First Nations are calling on the province to address “one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in Canada.”
“With the timelines currently being contemplated by the province, construction on a new crossing may not be completed before 2030 – a delay that greatly impacts the lives of tens of thousands of residents who make use of the tunnel each day,” the group wrote. According to the letter, the group has done so, agreeing that a replacement for the four-lane Fraser River crossing should be a tunnel, not a bridge, and the province should seek funding from Ottawa.
