Significant construction is underway along the Surrey Langley SkyTrain alignment and at future station sites.
Early works, including site preparation and utility relocation, began in spring 2024. Major construction activities followed in November 2024. Construction is progressing with guideway columns starting to be visible at multiple station sites.
Construction in 2025 is focused on foundations for roughly 200 guideway piers and columns. The development of the pre-cast concrete facility in Surrey’s Campbell Heights and starting construction of Green Timbers and Langley City Centre stations is also planned in 2025.
“The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is going to transform the transportation experience for people across the region,” said Minister of Transportation and Transit Mike Farnworth. “From job creation to housing and improved access to services and amenities, the new SkyTrain line will make getting around faster and more affordable for hundreds of thousands of people.”
As the project progresses into spring, column and pier construction will advance, and crews will begin casting more than 4,400 concrete segments that form the guideway. Four gantry launchers, which are purpose-built cranes to build the guideway, will be assembled to lift and put the segments in place this summer. The launchers will be located at 152 Street, Bakerview-166 Street and Hillcrest-184 Street stations.
“As construction of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain progresses, we are taking a crucial step toward addressing the long-standing transit challenges our city has faced. This project will help reduce the service gaps in Surrey, providing our residents with safer, more reliable and efficient transportation options they deserve. Together, we are building a more connected and vibrant future for our community,” said Brenda Locke, mayor of Surrey.
The project is expected to serve a daily weekday ridership of 56,000 in the opening year, increasing to 80,000 by 2050.
