Rob Fleming says the project is expected to be completed by 2028, two years earlier than originally planned, and will cost $500 million less than anticipated by building the line to Langley “at once” . He says the capital cost of the link is $3.94 billion, which includes $2.4 billion from the province, $1.3 billion from the federal government and the rest coming from local government. Once complete, Fleming says it will take just 22 minutes to travel from Langley to King George Station in Surrey, and just over an hour to get from Langley to downtown Vancouver. The province says in a statement that work on the project, including utility relocations and road widening, is already underway and major construction is expected to begin in 2024. Fleming says the province will also provide another $60 million for active transport routes for cycling and walking along the Fraser Highway to complement the SkyTrain line.
