Better transportation coming south of the Fraser as Surrey Langley SkyTrain approaches fall construction

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.

Major construction on the first rapid-transit project south of the Fraser River in 30 years is expected to begin in 2024, with guideway, stations, and systems and trackwork contractors now in place. Once complete, people in the region will be able to travel between Langley City and Surrey Centre in approximately 22 minutes and between Langley and downtown Vancouver in just more than an hour.

“The populations of Surrey, Langley and other communities across Metro Vancouver are growing quickly, and we are committed to building infrastructure to meet these needs,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “This project will transform how people get around, helping create a more affordable, livable and greener future for people in the region.”

Following competitive procurement processes, the Province has selected three teams to deliver the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project.
