Back to EpisodesDebris Barrier Project in Squamish Faces Storm, Costs
Description
Construction on a massive debris barrier in Squamish, BC, halted due to a heavy atmospheric river. The $115 million project, designed to block 2.8 million cubic meters of debris, was damaged by erosion and a storm surge. Despite cost overruns and damage, the barrier remains crucial for protecting a major housing development. Ownership transfers to the District of Squamish in July, with annual maintenance costs of $540,000.
