Project Description

​

The area south of the Fraser River is one of the fastest growing areas in the Vancouver region. The population of Surrey, Langley City, and Langley Township is projected to increase by 420,000 people and add 147,000 new jobs by the year 2050. As the population in communities south of the Fraser River continues to grow, so does demand for Transit.

​

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain will improve transportation options, increase access to housing and services such as childcare and heath care, support healthy communities and the environment and foster economic development.

​

The project extends the Expo Line 16 kilometres, primarily along the Fraser Highway on an elevated guideway from King George Station in Surrey to 203rd Street in Langley City. It includes eight new stations and three transit exchanges at the Bakerview-166 Street, Willowbrook and Langley City Centre Stations.

​

The budget for the Surrey Langley SkyTrain is CAD$5.996 billion, which includes capital costs and active transportation investments.

​

The anticipated in-service date is late 2029.
