The federal provincial governments announced that station construction is now underway at all eight stations along the Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension, marking a major project milestone.
The $6-billon project, being delivered by the Province with funding from both levels of government, will extend the Expo Line from King George Station in Surrey to Langley City Centre, transforming the way people travel in communities south of the Fraser River and connecting them to destinations in Metro Vancouver.
The Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project is No. 15 on ReNew Canada’s 2026 Top100 Projects report.
“The Surrey Langley SkyTrain will transform the way people move around Metro Vancouver. Breaking ground on the last of eight stations is a huge step towards building vital and reliable public transit connections. Through collaboration, we are building the first rapid transit project south of the Fraser in 30 years,” said Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.
Station foundation work is already complete at six stations, with work continuing at 152 Street Station and getting underway at Willowbrook Station. Above ground progress of station construction is already visible at Fleetwood and Green Timbers stations, where station structures are taking shape. With all eight stations now under construction, the focus will shift from foundation work to vertical construction, building the stations that will soon serve future riders.
“Everyone needs to get to school, work, or appointments, and all the better if commutes go quickly with a minimum of stress. This new extension links the growing region south of the Fraser with the rest of Metro Vancouver, making commuting faster and easier, while relieving traffic congestion. With all eight new SkyTrain stations now under construction, we are closer to riders moving from Langley City Centre to downtown Vancouver in a little over an hour,” said David Eby, Premier of British Columbia.
In addition to station construction, contractors are making significant progress on all aspects of the project.
- Guideway foundation construction is almost 90% complete, and 75% of guideway columns are built.
- All four launching gantries are in operation constructing the elevated guideway, with more than 30% of guideway segments installed (five kilometres).
- The Precast Concrete Facility in South Surrey is producing segments for the elevated guideway, with half of all segments now cast.
- The 16-kilometre underground duct bank, which will house the electrical lines needed to power the SkyTrain, is more than 75% complete (approximately 12 kilometres).
- Trackwork began in the last week of April, with rail installation starting just 18 months after the start of major construction.
“The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain extension is about more than just moving people–it’s about building stronger, more connected communities. This project will reduce congestion, cut commute times, and provide a reliable transportation for the region’s growing population,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Transportation and Transit.
South Fraser Station Partners, the consortium responsible for the construction of the eight stations, is composed of Acciona Infrastructure, Aecon Group, Pomerleau, and AECOM Constructors. Francl Architecture and Perkins + Will will serve as the architectural design firms for the region’s newest SkyTrain stations, collaboratively working with AECOM’s architectural design division.
Along with South Fraser, the province also signed major construction contracts with SkyLink Guideway Partners, and Transit Integrators BC.
Transit Integrators BC—comprised of AtkinsRéalis and Western Pacific Enterprises will install the tracks, electrical systems, and automated train control.
