The B.C. Conservatives are calling for the outgoing NDP government to pause construction on the Massey Tunnel replacement project as the party vows to pivot back to a bridge.
"We want to make sure right now that any work that is being done right now is complimentary to that fact that we have committed to put a bridge forward on the massey crossing," Surrey Whiterock MLA-elect Trevor Halford said.
The incoming Conversatives will officially sworn in Nov. 20, and leader Lorne Doerkson has estimated the bridge crossing over the Fraser River would save taxpayers up to $3 billion.
However, when pressed for specifics about how the Tories have come to that figure, Halford was short on details.
"I guarantee you right now people are caught in traffic at the Massey Tunnel. This is a bridge that should have been opened three years ago and the NDP is the reason it hasn't," he said.
