Why is the tunnel the best alternative for creating additional access to the Port?
Various alternatives were explored during the initial Project Development and Environment process, including several different corridor alignments, a high-level bridge over the Main Channel, and the “no-build” alternative. All were found to be less effective than the tunnel. Based on the engineering and environmental criteria, the tunnel best improves safety conditions, reduces traffic congestion, creates no significant long- or short-term environmental impacts and has no long-term effects on marine navigation.
