The concession package for the Massey Bridge in Canada is proving popular, with several firms keen to win the deal. Three consortia are in the running for the bridge project, which is intended to replace the existing George Massey Tunnel. One consortium is headed by Spanish company 917 ACS and its local subsidiaries and also includes Star America Infrastructure Partners and Aecon. Another of the competing consortia is comprised of Kiewit, 2378 Macquarie and 5177 Vinci. The third consortium in the running for the project is made up of 6343 Fluor, 1378 John Laing and SNC-Lavalin. The construction work is due to commence in 2017 and will take until 2022 to complete. When the bridge is finished it will feature 10 lanes for vehicle traffic, with five in either direction. The new bridge is required as the old tunnel is no longer able to meet traffic demands.
