The Government of British Columbia announced that the Broadway Subway trackwork will be completed this week, marking a critical milestone for the project and continued progress toward the opening of the extension in 2027.
“With trackwork set to be completed this week, we are making significant progress toward opening this critical transit infrastructure for people living in the Lower Mainland., said Mike Farnworth, B.C. Minister of Transportation and Transit.
The Broadway Subway Project will extend the Millennium Line 5.7 kilometres west from VCC-Clark Station to Arbutus Street, and includes 700 metres of elevated guideway, five kilometres of tunnels and six new underground stations.
The Broadway Subway Extension is No. 33 on ReNew Canada’s Top100 Projects report.
Traffic-deck removal and corridor restoration activities are taking place at stations in Broadway as construction advances on the project.
In August 2026, project crews completed removal of the traffic deck at Broadway-City Hall Station. Work is progressing on installing utilities, backfilling the space above the station and restoring the street and sidewalks.
“The Broadway Subway extension will shape Vancouver for generations to come, strengthening Broadway as a major economic, health-care and transit corridor that connects the city from east to west,” said Gregor Robertson, federal Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.
The Government of Canada is contributing nearly $897 million to the Broadway Subway Project, and the Government of British Columbia is contributing nearly $2 billion and the City of Vancouver is contributing $100.3 million.
