The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain project is a 16-kilometre elevated extension of the Expo Line (TransLink) that will run from its current terminus at King George Station in Surrey, British Columbia, through the Township of Langley to a new terminus at Langley City Centre. The project will include eight new stations, three transit exchanges, and nine propulsion power substations.

Background and history

The project is being delivered by the province of British Columbia and will connect Surrey and Langley with the rest of the region. Over the next 30 years, the City of Surrey, City of Langley, and Township of Langley are expected to gain more than 400,000 new residents and over 185,000 additional jobs. This population and employment growth is expected to increase demand on the area's transportation system, with the SkyTrain extension intended to provide additional transit capacity.

Route and stations

The SkyTrain extension will run along Fraser Highway and will consist of eight stations and three bus exchanges.

Cost and funding

The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain extension is being funded jointly by the three levels of government. The total project cost was updated to approximately $5.996 billion following changes to the project scope and economic conditions. Initial development funding of $1.63 billion was reallocated after the regional Mayors' Council voted to replace the proposed Surrey LRT project with a SkyTrain extension. The decision to develop the entire 16-kilometre extension to Langley City as a single project, rather than building it in phases, allowed the project to use consolidated funding agreements.
