Communities south of the Fraser River are one step closer to high-quality, low-cost transportation now that all three contracts have been awarded for the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project.

Drivers and people who take transit in the Lower Mainland are closer to faster and more convenient travel as both the Broadway Subway Project and the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project have reached significant milestones.
