  • Mayor and Council From
    City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.07 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council From: Corporate Services Department Date: February 21, 2018 George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project Update The following recommendations have been endorsed by the Acting City Manager. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT copies of this report be provided to: • Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport • Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Member of Parliament for Delta • Chief Bryce Williams, Tsawwassen First Nation • Honourable Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure • Ravi Kahlon, MLA Delta-North • Ian Paton, MLA Delta-South • Metro Vancouver Board of Directors • Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on some of the key issues related to the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project (GMTRP), particularly in light of the Province's recent announcement regarding the Pattullo Bridge, and to provide a consolidated summary for Council's information. • BACKGROUND: On February 16, 2018, the BC government announced that it is moving forward with the construction of a $1.38 billion bridge to replace the Pattullo Bridge. This raises some questions regarding the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, which has been on a five-month hiatus since the Province announced last September that it was undertaking an independent technical review of the crossing. Both projects are badly needed; however, unlike the Pattullo project which is only part-way through the environmental assessment process, the tunnel replacement project is shovel-ready, has received its environmental assessment certificate and has completed the bidding process. Furthermore, in terms of both vehicular and transit traffic, the George Massey Tunnel carries Page 2 of 5 GMTRP Update February 21 , 2018 significantly higher volumes than the Pattullo Bridge (Attachments 'A' and 'B' show the volumes for all the Fraser River crossings).

Harvi e, Chief Administrative Officer TransLink recently completed the initial round of public consultation sessions in New Westminster and Surrey to solicit feedback from the public on the Pattullo Bridge. A number of alternative crossings were developed for three possible corridors: 1. Existing Pattullo Bridge Corridor 2. Sapperton Bar Corridor • New crossing located east of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would provide a more direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam 3. Tree Island Corridor • New crossing located west of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would essentially function as an alternative to the Queensborough Bridge Based on the initial screening work that has been undertaken, six alternatives have been identified for further consideration: 1. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (3 lanes) 2. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (4 lanes) 3. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) 4. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (5 lanes) 5. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (6 lanes) 6. Sapperton Bar Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) coupled with Rehabilitated Pattullo Bridge (2-3 lanes) Options involving a new bridge are based on the implementation of user based charges (tolls) to help pay for the bridge upgrades.

  • Vulnerability Assessment of Arizona's Critical Infrastructure
    Leadership in Sustainable Infrastructure Leadership en Infrastructures Durables Vancouver, Canada May 31 – June 3, 2017/ Mai 31 – Juin 3, 2017 SCOUR IN COMPLEX BRIDGE PIERS: FRASER AND PADMA RIVERS Jose A. Vasquez1,2, Kara I. Hurtig1, Matt S. Gellis1, Andre Zimmerman1, Bruce W. Walsh1. 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. (NHC), North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT The construction of complex bridge piers in large sand-bed rivers has become increasingly common. These piers are made by driving or boring a group of piles deep into the riverbed and then connecting them by a pile cap on top, over which the stem of the pier supporting the deck is located. In contrast with conventional footings, the pile cap is located high above the riverbed and close to the water surface, functioning also as protection against ship collision. The combination of several piles, pile cap and stem above the riverbed gives the pier a complex geometry, which does not easily fit with the simple geometry commonly assumed by most scour prediction equations; hence the need for mobile-bed physical modelling in order to determine scour depths for design purposes. We report the results of several complex piers scour experiments carried out at Northwest Hydraulic Consultants’ laboratory including the Golden Ears Bridge, Port Mann Bridge and Pattullo Bridge in the Fraser River, British Columbia and the Padma River Bridge in Bangladesh. These pier tests encompass a wide range of conditions such as vertical and inclined piles (diameters from 1.8 to 3.0 m), rectangular, octagonal and dumbbell-shaped pile caps (pile cap lengths between 18 and 60 m), and flow discharges ranging from 2-year to 100-year floods.
