Project Description

The George Massey Project is a design-build project that will connect Delta and Richmond B.C. The new eight-lane immersed tube tunnel (ITT) will replace the existing 4-lane George Massey Tunnel, which will improve transit, cycling and walking connections across the Fraser River.
