However, one could reasonably expect that a fraction of the overall crossing costs (estimated between $1.4 and $1.8 billion) will go towards one 5 meter MUP pathway tube compared to the two 174 meter traffic tubes.

The cost isn't nothing, but from the very beginning every short-list alternative included a MUP (pages 12 and 13 of this document): https://engage.gov.bc.ca/app/uploads/sit...nal_report_Rev0E_19-Dec-2019-w-cover.pdf

One traffic lane is 3.7m and the MUP was 3.5m. So maybe it would be roughly 15-20% of the $1.4-1.8 billion dollar figure.
