B.C. Head John Horgan said Thursday development will start inside months, with the objective of having the new line in administration by 2025. The beginning date and fruition deadline were declared over a year back. Thursday's declaration affirms the project will continue notwithstanding COVID-19.
"We are beginning the Broadway tram. This is simply thoroughly astonishing ... this is quite turning out. It's such an incredible thing and I'm so amped up for it," said Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart. The project will expand the Millennium Line by 5.7 kilometers from VCC-Clark Station to the crossing point of Broadway and Arbutus Street on the city's West Side, with six new stations en route.
Horgan said Thursday the $1.73-billion agreement to plan and manufacture the line has been granted to the Broadway Subway Project Corp., an Acciona-Ghella joint endeavor. The leader of the B.C. Fast Transit Company, Michel Ladrak, said the new SkyTrain line will lighten pressure on the current 99B transport line.
