Massey Tunnel Cost Soars to $8.5B | Vancouver News

Description

The Massey Tunnel replacement is now projected to cost $8.5 billion—more than double its 2021 estimate—and won’t be finished until September 2031, a year later than planned. Blaming inflation, market conditions, and project complexity, officials say they’re being transparent, but locals are furious, blaming mismanagement and even wondering why a bridge wasn’t chosen. The federal government will cover one-third, up to $3 billion, but critics fear costs will climb further—and no contractor has been picked yet. After over a decade of shifting plans and changing governments, the project remains a tangled web of delays, debates, and ballooning budgets.
