Tunnel Closing Next Weekend
The George Massey Tunnel will be closed overnight next month to allow for safety testing and maintenance.
According to an advisory issued by Mainroad Lower Mainland Contracting, the Highway 99 tunnel that connects Richmond and Delta will be closed in both directions for two nights next month from Friday, June 5 at 10 p.m. to Saturday, June 6 at 4:30 a.m., and again from Saturday, June 6 at 10 p.m. to Sunday, June 7 at 4:30 a.m.
Drivers are asked to use the Alex Fraser Bridge as a detour and to watch for signs and traffic control in the area.
The tunnel has long been identified as needing upgrades or a replacement to extend its life and to improve safety and congestion. A plan to replace the tunnel with a 10-lane bridge was initially approved under Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberal government but later scrapped by B.C. NDP then-premier John Horgan in favour of a toll-free, eight lane, immersed tube tunnel.

SPS Investigating Shots Fired in Cloverdale
Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating shots fired outside a business in Cloverdale in the mid-afternoon of May 21, 2026.
On May 21, 2026, at approximately 2:24 pm, SPS officers responded to a report of gunshots near 58 Avenue and 176 Street, Surrey. Upon arrival, police located at least one business damaged by the gunshots. There have been no reported injuries.
At 2:47 pm, SPS officers responded to a report of a vehicle on fire near 20 Avenue and 174 Street, Surrey.
The investigation is in its early stages and the motive for the shots fired is unknown. It is not, however, believed to be extortion related. Investigators will be examining whether the vehicle fire is connected to the shots fired.
SPS’s Major Crime Section (MCS) has taken over the lead on the investigation, and the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS) will be in the area processing physical and digital evidence.
Traffic in the area of 58 Avenue and 175 Street has been shut down while the scene is processed.
Anyone with information about this incident, including CCTV or dashcam footage, or who may know the identities of the suspects is asked to contact SPS’ non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-50217 (SP).
 
Full-patch Hells Angel Jaswinder ‘Jas’ Basi, 41, was uninjured after someone opened fire at a Surrey auto spa business. Basi, currently a member of the Hells Angels Nomads in Ontario was the target of the shooting.
Cops responded to a shots-fired call at about 2:24 p.m. near 58th Avenue and 176th Street. Cool Whipz Auto Spa, at 5811 176th St., was behind police tape. Half an hour later SPS reported a vehicle on fire near 20th Avenue and 174th Street.

5 Corners, 4 Corners, 3 Corners
I have the pleasure of working near the historic "5 Corners" intersection in White Rock where Johnson Road, Pacific Avenue and Buena Vista Avenue all meet. In case you were wondering how three streets equal 5 Corners, it is because Buena Vista Avenue used to run along the south of White Rock Elementary before the strata housing Laura's Coffee Corner, Emilio Finatti Pizzeria and Morrison Cafe was built in the 1970s. Gone is the starfish shaped confluence of roads and what is left is three roads plus a single lane one-way offshoot of Johnson Road. To say that this intersection is an accident waiting to happen would be an understatement. There is always a cacophony of horns and squealing tires almost every time we are in the neighbourhood and the pseudo crosswalk leading towards the elementary school is a danger to children and adults alike.
