flag Dredging plans for Burrard Inlet remain preliminary, with no funding or final scope set, despite potential benefits and environmental concerns.

flag Plans to dredge Burrard Inlet remain in the preliminary stage, with no final costs or project scope set, according to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. flag The project, aimed at deepening the channel under Second Narrows bridge to accommodate larger tankers at the Trans Mountain Westridge Terminal, could begin next year pending approvals. flag Preliminary studies started in May, with a dredging footprint under two hectares. flag While the port authority says it could strengthen supply chains, environmental experts and Indigenous groups have raised concerns over ecological risks, including impacts on endangered species and traditional food harvesting. flag Prime Minister Mark Carney supported the idea, but the latest federal budget does not include specific funding.
