Three companies have signed a $928 million joint contract to build eight stations and a terminus on the Surrey Langley SkyTrain line from King George to Langley City Centre in metro Vancouver.
Aecon Group Inc., Acciona and Pomerleau, as a consortium under the name South Fraser Station Partners, have signed the stations contract for the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project, which is worth about $928 million.
The contract is part of Aecon’s construction segment backlog, which the company added in the second quarter of 2024. The project is expected to be completed in 2029.
“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,” Jean-Louis Servranckx, President and Chief Executive Officer, Aecon Group Inc. said in a statement last Thursday (Aug. 15).
“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 will extend the existing Expo Line from King George to a new terminus station in Langley City Centre and includes eight stations, three transit exchanges, nine power substations, and 250 metres of guideway at the SkyTrain’s terminus station. Construction is expected to commence in late 2024.
Certain early works are underway, and construction is expected to commence in late 2024, with anticipated substantial completion in 2029.
