Significant construction is underway along the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain alignment, and at future station sites, the Province has announced.
“The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain project is going to transform the transportation experience for people across the region,” said Minister of Transportation and Transit Mike Farnworth. “From job creation to housing and improved access to services and amenities, the new SkyTrain line will make getting around faster and more affordable for hundreds of thousands of people.”
Early works, including site preparation and utility relocation, began in the spring of 2024. Major construction activities followed in November 2024. Construction is progressing, with guideway columns appearing at multiple station sites.
“With significant progress in construction for the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain, we’re taking a major step toward reshaping transit in the region,” said Randeep Sarai, MP for Surrey Centre. “This project will improve connectivity, support the growing transportation needs of our communities, and provide accessible, sustainable and efficient options for people across Metro Vancouver.”
In 2025, construction focused on foundations for roughly 200 guideway piers and columns. The development of the pre-cast concrete facility in Surrey’s Campbell Heights and the construction of Green Timbers and Langley City Centre stations are also planned for 2025.
“As one of Canada’s fastest-growing regions, the need for high-quality public transportation south of the Fraser River is critical,” said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey Fleetwood. “Expanding access to convenient public transit will help current and future residents access new jobs, find affordable housing and stay connected.”
