Summary 

• All eight stations along the 16-kilometre extension are now under construction, with the extension expected to enter operation in late 2029
• More than 30% of the elevated guideway is complete across the corridor
• Trackwork is beginning, including the installation of rail, marking the next phase of construction on the project

Station construction is underway at all eight stations along the Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension, marking a major project milestone and moving the region closer to better, more connected transit for communities south of the Fraser River.

The project is being delivered by the Province with funding from the federal and provincial governments.

“Everyone needs to get to school, work or appointments, and all the better if commutes go quickly with a minimum of stress,” said Premier David Eby. “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.”

Once complete, this project 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 will transform the way people move around Metro Vancouver,” said Gregor Robertson, federal Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister Responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada. “Breaking ground on the last of eight stations is a huge step toward building vital and reliable public transit connections. Through collaboration, we are building the first rapid transit project south of the Fraser in 30 years.”

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain will unlock opportunities to build transit-oriented communities, especially around the eight stations, with more options for housing, employment and services such as health care and child care. The project also includes 14 kilometres of new, fully separated multi-use pathways, connecting to regional active transportation networks and the new SkyTrain stations.

“The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is about more than just moving people – it’s about building stronger, more-connected communities,” said Mike Farnworth, B.C.’s Minister of Transportation and Transit. “This project will reduce congestion, cut commute times and provide a reliable transportation for the region’s growing population.”

Station foundation work is already complete at six stations, with work continuing at 152 Street Station and beginning at Willowbrook Station. Above-ground progress of station construction is visible at the Fleetwood and Green Timbers stations, where station structures are taking shape. With all eight stations under construction, the focus will shift from foundation work to vertical construction, building the stations that will soon serve future riders.

Progress across the project

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 2026, with rail installation starting 18 months after the start of major construction.

“As construction begins on Willowbrook Station, we’re moving closer to a transit system that better connects people, communities, and opportunities across the region,” said Randeep Sarai, federal Secretary of State (International Development) and MP for Surrey Centre. “The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain extension will make it easier for residents to get where they need to go by reducing service gaps, shortening commute times and expanding public transportation across Metro Vancouver for years to come.”
