Flatiron Constructors Canada Limited and Urban Systems have been selected by the B.C. government to design and build the Steveston Interchange Project.
“Our government is moving ahead on the replacement of the George Massey Tunnel, and we are starting by addressing one of the worst bottlenecks in the area – the Steveston Interchange,” said Rob Fleming, minister of transportation and infrastructure. “By expanding the Steveston Interchange from two to five lanes, we’re improving travel for people living in Steveston and Richmond, and for those who travel the George Massey Tunnel corridor daily.”
The Steveston Interchange Project will replace the existing two-lane overpass structure at Steveston Highway and Highway 99 with a new structure that accommodates two eastbound lanes and three westbound lanes, including a left-turn lane. The new interchange will also improve access to transit stops and pedestrian and cycling connections on Highway 99.
“The replacement of the Steveston Interchange will help keep Richmond connected and make it easier for people to get to school, work, errands and activities,” said Kelly Greene, MLA for Richmond-Steveston. “Ahead of the new, eight-lane Massey Tunnel replacement that will also see connections for transit and active transportation, this project is a great step forward.”
The next step is to finalize an agreement with the Flatiron preferred proponent. With a successful contract award, construction is planned to begin later this year and be completed in 2025.
