The project had previously been pegged at just over $4 billion, with a projected completion date of 2028.

The Surrey- Langley SkyTrain extension project is becoming a reality. The plan is to extend the Expo Line from King George Station in Surrey to Langley. The names and locations of the stations have now been announced. Janet Brown has reaction. – Dec 1, 2023

Township of Langley Mayor Eric Woodward had a “mixed reaction” to the update, saying it was positive news that the project was moving forward, but raising concerns.“Certainly it’s disappointing to see it over budget by such a significant amount, and then delayed potentially one year, perhaps longer,” Woodward said.

Earlier this year, the province revealed the Broadway subway line and the Patullo Bridge replacement, both currently under construction, would be delayed by one year. The province has yet to provide an update on those projects’ costs.
