BRIDGE
Pattullo Bridge
Replacement Project
$1.38 BILLION
BC MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
In February of 2018, the Government of British Columbia announced its plans to
replace the Pattullo Bridge, a key crossing between Surrey and New Westminster. The
new four lane crossing is being built to modern safety standards and features wider
lanes to better accommodate passenger and commercial vehicles, a centre median
barrier, dedicated multi-use pathways for walking and cycling that are separated
from traffic on both sides of the bridge and is designed to accommodate potential
future expansion to six lanes. The new bridge will be located just upstream and
northeast of the existing bridge and will include new on and off ramps to connect
the new bridge with the existing road network. Major construction is underway. In-river, construction is underway on the bridge tower, and work is also underway to build
the second in-river foundation. In New Westminster and Surrey, bridge foundation
construction, utility relocations and roadworks are underway.

REMEDIATION
Port Hope
Area Initiative
$1.3 BILLION
The Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI) is a federal environmental clean-up program. Its
mandate is the remediation and local, long-term, safe management of approximately
$1.7 million cubic metres of historic low-level radioactive waste in the municipalities
of Port Hope and Clarington in southern Ontario. The historic waste resulted from the
radium and uranium refining operations of the former Crown corporation, Eldorado
Nuclear Limited, and its private sector predecessors, which operated until 1988.
The PHAI has two projects: the Port Hope Project and the Port Granby Project.
The Port Hope Project involves the construction of an engineered above ground
mound and supporting infrastructure for the safe, long-term management of approximately $1.2 million cubic metres of historic low-level radioactive waste, cleanup of
the waste from various major sites and small-scale sites in Port Hope and transportation of the waste to a new long-term waste management facility (LTWMF) currently
under construction. After the facility is capped and closed, anticipated to be in 2025,
ongoing maintenance and monitoring will continue for many years.
