SURREY, B.C. — The Government of B.C. is reporting 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 and work is progressing with guideway columns starting to be visible at multiple station sites.
2025 construction will focus 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, a release reads.
As spring progresses, column and pier construction will move forward 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, the release adds.
Once complete, the Surrey Langley SkyTrain will allow travel between Langley City Centre and King George SkyTrain station in approximately 22 minutes and 65 minutes between Langley City Centre and Waterfront station in downtown Vancouver.
