How much will rail traffic increase along the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor as a result of the Deltaport Third Berth Project?
Total rail traffic to and from Roberts Bank is expected to increase from an average of 18 trains per day to 21 trains per day by 2012. Rail improvements for the DP3 Project require 23,000 feet of additional track to be constructed by B.C. Rail Company (BCRC) within its property on the Roberts Bank causeway and within its existing Gulf Siding right-of-way. The 57B Street road-rail grade crossing, south of Deltaport Way, is proposed to be closed to accommodate additional rail support track at the Gulf Siding. PMV is working with the Corporation of Delta and the Delta Farmers’ Institute to address agricultural requirements in order to achieve closure of the 57B Street crossing.
