“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 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.
