Where is the report on the Massey Tunnel? Unclear when the province will announce its plans

After the BC Liberals were defeated in 2017, the BC NDP cancelled work on the Massey Bridge, and sent the project for a technical review.

The Massey Bridge, with a price tag of $3.5 billion, would have replaced the 60-year-old Massey Tunnel, which experts say is unsafe and one of the worst points of congestion in all of BC.

This month Trevena has met with Metro Vancouver mayors to discuss possible options for a replacement.
