Broadway Subway Project, Millennium Line Extension
Canada
2020 | ONGOING
The Broadway Subway Project is an extension to the existing Millennium Line that will connect VCC-Clark station with a new terminus at Arbutus Street, passing through six new stations and having a length of 5.7 km, with both underground and elevated route sections. The Broadway Corridor is one of the most densely populated areas in British Columbia not yet served by a rapid transit system, yet at the same time experiencing strong population
growth, with a 57% increase in population projected by 2040. Once in operation, the Millennium Line extension will provide fast, frequent and convenient SkyTrain service to B.C.’s second largest jobs centre, world-class health services, an emerging innovation and research hub, and growing residential communities.
