However, that was delayed, at least in part due to the pandemic.
Last September, TransLink initiated public consultation on the station designs for the first stage of the extension, but that was abruptly halted due to the provincial election call.
The entire seamless extension of the existing Expo Line from King George Station in Surrey City Centre to 203 Street in Langley Centre will be elevated, with a total route length of 16 km and eight new stations.
The complete cost of the project is estimated to be about $3.1 billion, including the acquisition of additional train cars and the construction of a major train yard near the Langley end of the extension.
