Among those participating in the groundbreaking were B.C. Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Rob Fleming, MLA for Richmond-Steveston Kelly Greene, MLA for Richmond-Queensborough Aman Singh, MLA for Richmond-South Centre Henry Yao, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Musqueam Indian Band Chief Wayne Sparrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to collaborate with the Province of British Columbia to deliver this major improvement to the Highway 99 corridor,\u201d said Ken Tanner, Flatiron Vice President\u2013Operations for Canada. \u201cThis project is consistent with Flatiron\u2019s strategy to build on successful relationships in local markets and to secure contracts that offer balanced risk profiles and opportunities for enhanced collaboration with our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Steveston Interchange Project is a key part of the Highway 99 Tunnel Program to improve safety and mobility along Highway 99. The 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. As part of the broader program, the new Steveston Interchange will improve connections for vehicles, transit users, pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n
