The government of B.C. has announced the locations of the six new underground stations for the future 5.7-kilometre extension of SkyTrain’s Millennium Line along Broadway.
Here are the stations announced Wednesday:
The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says the station names were chosen according to the location, and they are not final.
More information about the station designs will be released once a contractor has been selected in mid-2020.
The three groups that have submitted proposals are Acciona-Ghella Joint Venture, Broadway Connect and West 9th Partners.
Early works have already started for the project, including installing new poles and wires to allow for temporary detours for three trolley bus routes during the construction.
Construction on the new extension is scheduled to start in 2020, with the line going into service in 2025.
