Federal Government Announces Flood Protection Funding for Delta
The federal government announced a $7.6 million investment to enhance flood protection in Delta, British Columbia. This funding will be used to construct two new drainage pump stations, crucial for safeguarding essential transport corridors, including Highway 99 and the railway to Deltaport. The 84 Street Drainage Pump Station will tackle flooding issues affecting roads, railways, and agricultural lands. The Silda Drainage Pump Station aims to reduce flooding at the Highway 91/17 interchange, protecting local businesses and infrastructure. These measures are vital for maintaining uninterrupted operations in critical transportation networks.
