The names of eight stations on the new Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension have been announced.

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is a 16-kilometre extension of the Expo Line that will run from King George Station to Langley City Centre, the first rapid transit expansion south of the Fraser River in 30 years. Once complete, commuters will be able to travel on transit from Langley city to downtown Vancouver in just over an hour.

The new station names are:

• Green Timbers Station (140 Street and Fraser Highway)
• 152 Street Station (152 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Fleetwood Station (160 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Bakerview-166 Street Station (166 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Hillcrest-184 Street Station (184 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Clayton Station (190 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Willowbrook Station (196 Street and Fraser Highway)
• Langley City Centre Station (203 Street and Fraser Highway)

“This is another important step in moving this project forward from concept to reality,” said Rob Fleming, minister of transportation and infrastructure. “The Surrey Langley SkyTrain is going to transform the way people live, work and travel both south of the Fraser and around the region. The stations we are naming today will become community landmarks and will be recognized for decades to come.”

The areas adjacent to new stations are key locations where the province will support transit-oriented developments to create efficient, vibrant communities where people can rely on public transit to connect them to their work and social lives.

The project is being delivered through three separate contracts: the guideway; the stations; and the systems and trackwork. Earlier this year, the province announced the firms that were selected to respond to the requests for proposals. It’s anticipated that contracts will be awarded in early 2024.

Advance work has been underway since 2020, including the now-complete widening of Fraser Highway between 140 and 148 streets, as well as utility relocations.

Construction on the Surrey Langley SkyTrain is expected to begin in 2024.
