Sept 25 (Reuters) - The Canada Energy Regulator (CER)
granted a route change request for the Trans Mountain Expansion
(TMX) project on Monday, clearing a major hurdle and avoiding
months of further delay for the project, owned by the Canadian
government.
    Trans Mountain Corp (TMC), the crown corporation that is
building the expansion, had sought a route deviation on a
1.3-kilometre (0.8 mile) section of pipeline near Kamloops,
British Columbia, to avoid planned micro-tunneling construction
that it said would be unfeasible.
