About The Project
METRO VANCOUVER is constructing a new water supply tunnel deep under Burrard Inlet, east of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. This project is one of five new regional water supply tunnels that are being designed to meet current seismic standards to ensure the reliable delivery of drinking water in the region in the event of a major earthquake.
When complete, the tunnel will also increase the capacity of the existing system to meet the long-term needs of the growing population.
