The Surrey Langley SkyTrain
“The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project will extend the Expo Line 16 kilometres, primarily along Fraser Highway from King George Station in Surrey to 203 Street in the City of Langley,” explains the project’s website.
“It will improve regional transportation connections and provide fast, frequent and reliable transit service, especially for those who live, work, study and play South of the Fraser River.”
The project includes a 16-kilometre route, which runs on an elevated guideway from King George Station in Surrey to 203 Street in Langley City. It will also have three transit exchanges; and the eight stations that will be constructed along its track.
Road Closures for SkyTrain Construction
From November 12 to December 12, only local access will be allowed on Fraser Highway between Whalley Boulevard and 140 Street.
Cyclist and pedestrian access will be available on the north side of Fraser Highway. The multi-use pathway on the south side of Fraser Highway will be maintained for local access only.
As for alternative routes, drivers can head down King George Boulevard, 100 Avenue, and 96 Avenue. Notably, there will be no access to/from 138 Street north of Fraser Highway until December 18, 2026.
Traffic control personnel will be present to coordinate access in and out of the closure area with residents.
