The Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project is a 16-kilometre extension of the Expo Line primarily along Fraser
Highway from King George Station in Surrey to 203
St. in Langley City Centre. With an elevated guideway,
eight new stations, and three new transit exchanges,
travel time between Langley City Centre and Surrey
City Centre will be 22 minutes. Advance works continue
including the relocation of utilities (including transmission, distribution, and telecommunications lines), and
the property acquisition process. The Surrey Langley
SkyTrain Project will be delivered through three separate contracts – one for the guideway, another for the
stations, and a third for the design and installation of
SkyTrain systems and trackwork. Contract awards are
expected in 2024 along with the start of early works
and major construction.
