Dredging Second Narrows for Trade | Vancouver News

Vancouver’s Second Narrows is set for major dredging this year to deepen the channel for larger oil tankers, with 25,000 cubic meters of sediment to be moved — all under strict federal oversight and 150 environmental conditions. Old water mains will be removed, new navigation lights installed, and water quality monitored closely thanks to strong currents and coarse seabed material. The federal agency cleared the project, noting minimal environmental risk, while requiring habitat restoration like new kelp beds. Costs are still being calculated but will be split between the port and Trans Mountain — all part of Canada’s push to double exports in a decade.
