TransCanada Highway Upgrade
$37 million
Twinning of the Trans Canada Highway in Banff National Park of Canada is currently underway.
Investments through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative will permit additional highway twinning and help to eliminate one of the most serious choke points between Vancouver and Calgary. The environmental impact assessment for the highway twinning has been completed and a stakeholder advisory group is in place to monitor progress.
The project includes environmental mitigation measures such as wildlife exclusion fencing, and underpasses and overpasses to facilitate crossing by different species along major wildlife corridors, which are considered world- leading practices for sustainable highway transportation projects.
All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.
All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
