Pre-construction activities at Highway 99 and Industrial Way intersection
Crews are progressing pre-construction work along Finch Drive and Industrial Way as we continue identifying the location of existing underground utilities.On October 1, 2024, crews will begin working at the intersection of Highway 99 and Industrial Way.To reduce impacts to the public, work will be completed overnight between 7 p.m. – 6 a.m. during weekdays.During these activities, single-lane closures will be in effect on Highway 99.Access to residents and businesses will be maintained, unless previously communicated. There will also be an increase in noise. This phase of work is anticipated to last approximately one week.We believe in working with the community to reduce impacts. We’ve developed a detailed traffic management plan, including traffic control signage and flaggers to keep traffic flowing safely. We’ve also informed nearby local residents and businesses about this phase of work.Construction of the new gas pipeline in the area is tentatively planned to occur in 2025.We thank the public for their patience as we complete these activities.

Statement on Temporary Workforce Lodge and Temporary Laydown Yard Council Decisions
We have heard through years of engagement an overwhelming preference for the Lodge proposal as the best way to mitigate workforce impacts in Squamish. This plan was approved by Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and the BC Environmental Assessment Office in 2023, based on a comprehensive set of conditions. We are grateful for the input we received from Indigenous Nations, local organizations, and community members who invested their time and expertise into shaping our proposal.Construction is continuing on the EGP project and our construction timeline will not be impacted by this decision. We will move forward with alternate plans for our worker accommodations, which includes utilizing local accommodations, with some workers commuting from out of town during peak periods of construction. We remain committed to working with the community to reduce impacts as best we can.We are currently reviewing the District of Squamish’s conditions with respect to the Temporary Laydown Yard.
