The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is being delivered through three separate contracts.

The contract award is expected in late 2023.
The third contract, for the design and installation of SkyTrain track work as well as the design, installation, and integration of electrical systems is in the RFQ stage. The list of shortlisted firms to advance to the RFP stage will be announced later this spring.
The project is a 16-kilometre extension of the SkyTrain Expo Line that will be the first rapid transit expansion south of the Fraser River in 30 years. The project will operate along an elevated guideway and include eight stations and three transit exchanges.
According to the provincial government, major construction is expected to begin in 2024 for completion and opening in late 2028.
