The bridge that will replace the Massey Tunnel has received its environmental assessment certificate – meaning it’s cleared another hurdle towards its completion.
The certificate was issued after considering a review led by BC’s Environmental Assessment Office.
The assessment included assurances that the bridge development wouldn’t have an impact on fish or fish habitat and that tunnel decommissioning would not result in changes to the size of vessels using the Fraser River.
The project milestone, however, illustrates why it’s such a contentious undertaking for the province.
“It’s going to make a huge negative impact on the City of Richmond and on the region,” says Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who recites a long list of what he thinks is wrong with the project.
