Aecon Group Inc. has announced that a joint venture between Aecon (40%) and Traylor Bros Inc. (60%) has been awarded a $267 million contract by Metro Vancouver (Greater Vancouver Water District) for the Second Narrows Water Supply Tunnel project in British Columbia.

The scope of work includes construction of two shafts, one on each side of Burrard Inlet, connected by a 1,100-metre tunnel. The north entry shaft will be in North Vancouver and approximately 60 metres deep, while the south exit shaft will be in Burnaby and approximately 110 metres deep.

Work will commence in November 2018 and the project is expected to reach completion by the end of 2023.
