The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is upgrading the property and roadways near the Lynnterm Terminal. The first part of this project, the realignment of Dominion Street, is now complete. Dominion Street is now a new two-lane road serving the Lynnterm Terminal. It is designed for truck and vehicle traffic with turning lanes and sidewalks on both sides, which increases safety for drivers and pedestrians using this road. The improvements also provide better public access to Harbourview Park for the local community.
This work will support future upgrades to the Lynnterm Terminal. Western Stevedoring will be consolidating the Lynnterm breakbulk facilities onto the property between Lynn Creek and Mountain Highway (see map). This will optimize the terminal without requiring any additional land, except nearby property repurposed for terminal use. Lynnterm will continue to be a consolidation centre for forest products, steel and other breakbulk commodities in the Pacific Northwest. It handles wood pulp and paper, lumber, panel products, steel products, project cargo, and machinery.
