Vancouver, B.C. – Infrastructure BC is pleased to present the Fall 2023 BC Major Infrastructure Projects Brochure. This brochure showcases the public projects that are planned or underway in B.C., with a value of more than $50 million each.

Infrastructure BC supports government and project owners in choosing the most suitable delivery model to build complex projects such as highways, bridges, schools, and hospitals. By publishing this brochure each spring and fall, Infrastructure BC aims to inform and engage the industry, contractors, subcontractors, and market participants about the upcoming opportunities.
