Who are the S2S Transportation Group and what is their role in the Sea-to-Sky Highway improvements?
The S2S Transportation Group (S2S) is the Contractor that will design, build, operate and maintain the Sea-to-Sky Highway. S2S is accountable for delivering a safe and reliable highway through a 25-year performance-based contract. The Ministry of Transportation will oversee the project, ensuring that all specifications are appropriately met, such as highway width, number of lanes, safety requirements, sightline requirements, signage, traffic management and commitments to communities. The S2S Transportation Group was selected to provide the best-value highway improvements through a competitive selection process and rigorous evaluation of proposals. The Ministry of Transportation has utilized the private sector in designing, building and maintaining highways for decades. Experience with similar projects world-wide suggests this type of arrangement results in better project definition, reduced delays and more financial control, including fewer cost over-runs.
