Welcome

Construction of the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project will start in January 2012 with completion scheduled for summer 2016.

Early works will set the stage for major construction

Construction of the Evergreen Line will begin with a series of early works to be completed at several locations along the Evergreen Line route alignment. This work will be done prior to the start of major construction, and early works construction is scheduled to begin in January 2012.

Power Supply Upgrade – Installation of New Underground Power Lines

The installation of new underground BC Hydro power lines will be one of the first in a series of construction activities to take place along the Evergreen Line route to prepare for major construction of the tunnel and guideway. This work will take place in Port Moody and Coquitlam from January to June 2012.

Concrete duct bank casings will be installed in an excavated trench and BC Hydro will run power lines through these ducts. The power supply lines are required for major construction and for the operation of the Evergreen Line.

Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project

The Evergreen Line is a new rapid transit line that will connect Coquitlam to Vancouver via Port Moody and Burnaby. The Evergreen Line will be a fast, frequent and convenient SkyTrain service, connecting Coquitlam City Centre through Port Moody to Lougheed Town Centre in approximately 15 minutes. It will connect without transfer to the current SkyTrain network at Lougheed Town Centre Station and will integrate with regional bus and West Coast Express networks. The Evergreen Line will be in service in summer 2016.

The Evergreen Line will relieve congestion, improve air quality and link Port Moody and Coquitlam to the current SkyTrain system.  Over 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created during construction.
