- The $2.95 billion Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver will open in fall 2027, extending the Millennium Line by 5.7 kilometres with six underground stations.
- Construction began in 2020, and the project is now two years behind schedule and $127 million over budget due to common delays in underground transit work.
- The extension includes a 700-metre elevated track before plunging underground, and features a direct connection at Cambie Street to the Canada Line.
- Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth reported that rail installation is underway and the combined Millennium and Surrey-Langley extensions will boost SkyTrain capacity by over 27 per cent.
- Local businesses affected by long construction report 40% sales drops and reduced staff, urging that no further delays occur before the subway’s anticipated opening.
