South Fraser Station Partners, a consortium comprised of Pomerleau, Aecon, and ACCIONA, has been awarded the Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project’s Stations contract by the Province of British Columbia.
The Surrey Langley SkyTrain will extend the existing Expo Line along Fraser Highway from King George Station to a new terminus station in Langley City Centre. The project includes the design and construction of eight stations, three transit exchanges, nine power substations, and 250 metres of guideway at the SkyTrain’s terminus station.
Early works are underway, and construction is expected to commence in late 2024, with anticipated substantial completion in 2029.
“Pomerleau is honoured to be part of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project, a key milestone in advancing sustainable transportation in the region”, said Philippe Adam, President and CEO at Pomerleau. “This project underscores our dedication to creating lasting infrastructure that connects our communities and strengthens the BC economy.”
Once complete, the Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension will provide a reliable 22-minute travel time between Langley City and King George Station and a 65-minute ride between Langley City and downtown Vancouver.
“We look forward to working with the Province of BC and our partners to deliver this critical transit extension – improving mobility for one of the fastest growing areas in Metro Vancouver,” said Jean-Louis Servranckx, president and Chief Executive Officer, Aecon Group. “The stations contract is a significant component of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project and we are proud to bring our expertise in delivering complex transit projects to build sustainable infrastructure that meets the needs of future generations.”
The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is being delivered through three separate contracts. All three contracts have now been awarded with major construction set to begin this year.
The cost of the project is now pegged at $5.996 billion due to market conditions, including rising inflation costs and key commodity escalation, supply-chain pressures and labour-market challenges.
