The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain extension is one of the biggest transit projects underway in Metro Vancouver. This new rapid-transit line will stretch about 16 kilometres from King George SkyTrain Station in Surrey to 203 Street in Langley City Centre, with eight new stations along the way. It’s being built to connect fast-growing communities along Fraser Highway to the regional rapid transit network.
When will it be done?
The current projected in-service date is late 2029—that means trains could be running and carrying passengers by the end of that year. While major construction is already happening now (with foundation work, guideway build-outs, station preparations, and utility relocations well underway), there’s still a lot of work left before the line opens to the public.
What will this mean for people in Surrey and Langley?
• 🚆 Faster and more reliable travel: Once open, the SkyTrain will make it much quicker to get from Langley to Surrey and beyond. A trip between Langley City Centre and King George Station is expected to take about 22 minutes, a big improvement compared with current bus travel times.
• 🚗 Less traffic congestion: By giving commuters a rapid transit alternative to driving, the extension should help ease traffic on Fraser Highway—one of the busiest roads in the region.
• 🏘️ More community growth: New stations often attract housing, shops, and services nearby. Transit-oriented development can mean more places to live, work, and play within walking distance of SkyTrain stations.
• 🌎 Better sustainability: Cleaner, electric transit options help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support healthier, walkable communities for people of all ages.
For residents, this project represents more than just a new train line—it’s about stronger connections to jobs, schools, services, and the rest of Metro Vancouver. While construction can be disruptive at times, the long-term benefits could transform how we get around south of the Fraser.
