  • The George Massey Tunnel (often referred to as the Massey Tunnel) is a highway traffic tunnel in the Metro Vancouver region of southwestern British Columbia. It is located approximately 20 km (12.4 mi) south of the city centre of Vancouver, British Columbia, and approximately 30 km (18.6 mi) north of the Canada–United States border at Blaine, Washington. Construction, costing approximately $16.6 million in 1959 ($140 million in 2017), began on the tunnel in March 1957, and it was opened to traffic on May 23, 1959 as the Deas Island Tunnel. Queen Elizabeth II attended the official opening ceremony of the tunnel on July 15, 1959. It carries a four-lane divided highway under the south arm of the Fraser River estuary, joining the City of Richmond to the north with the City of Delta to the south. It is the only road tunnel below sea level in Canada, making its roadway the lowest road surface in Canada. The Massey Tunnel was the first to use immersed tube technology in British Columbia. The tunnel forms part of Highway 99. It is named for Nehamiah "George" Massey, a former Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. He represented Delta between 1956 and 1960, and was a long-time advocate of a permanent crossing to replace the Ladner Ferry that crossed the south arm of the Fraser River. The tunnel was renamed the George Massey Tunnel in 1967, three years after Massey died. It is still sometimes referred to by its previous name, the Deas Island Tunnel. Dangerous goods are not allowed to pass through the tunnel. (en)

  • 喬治·馬西隧道(英語:George Massey Tunnel),簡稱馬西隧道(Massey Tunnel),位於加拿大卑詩省大溫哥華地區,跨越菲沙河南支流,連接列治文和三角洲,隸屬卑詩省99號公路。隧道採沉管式設計,中間以一混凝土隔壁一分為二,每邊各有兩條行車綫,合共四條行車綫。行車綫以調撥車道形式分配:非繁忙時間北行和南行方向各有兩條行車綫、平日早上繁忙時間有三條行車綫通往列治文、而下午繁忙時間則有三條行車綫通往三角洲。隧道可應付每小時7000架次的汽車流量,而現時隧道每天汽車流量達95,000架次。 隧道全長629米(2063英尺),由六塊預製組件組成。每塊組件長105米,由拖船拖到預定位置再沉降到預先在河床挖掘的地基上,再在地基和隧道組件之上放置保護石層。此乃北美首條以沉管方式興建的隧道。隧道兩端各置一座通風大樓,而兩端的引道則各自從通風大樓伸延約350米。隧道最低處離海平面約22米,是加拿大最低的行車道路。 單車嚴禁使用馬西隧道,但民眾仍可帶同單車登上免費接駁巴士服務前往對岸。 (zh)
