Drummond. The project is on track for completion this spring, once the remaining work including landscaping, line painting, site demobilization and other minor works is complete. Pacific Gateway Constructors, a consortium comprised of Ledcor (40%), Aecon (35%) and BEL Contracting (25%), is carrying out the contract awarded by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Pacific Gateway Constructors employed local trades for the project, and awarded over $16 million in contract value to local Indigenous businesses and partnerships through subcontracting opportunities. “The Design-Builder worked with a number of Indigenous nations to offer employment and contracting opportunities, resulting in substantial sub-contracting with member-owned and jointventure businesses,” says Drummond. “In addition, the Ministry contracted environmental consulting services directly with a local First Nation to assist with monitoring of project construction and environmental offsetting.” The Ministry also partnered with a local First Nation to undertake Fraser River foreshore clean-up and planting on a residual property outside of the project area”. As part of the broader Highway 91/17 and Deltaport Way Upgrade program, the 27B Avenue improvements were jointly funded by Tsawwassen First Nation and the Government of Canada. Photo Credit - B.C.
