Canada Line service in Richmond ending early for three nights due to construction

RICHMOND, B.C. – Service between Bridgeport Station and Richmond-Brighouse Station on the Canada Line will end approximately three hours early for three nights, from August 2 to August 4, allowing construction crews to work on the new Capstan Station. TransLink will be deploying extra bus service to assist passengers.

The temporary service changes are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and the public. Crews will be using cranes to install large pieces of steel to connect the top of the station’s H-frames. The cranes cannot be used safely above the track while trains are in operation.

These temporary closures will affect customers travelling to and from Bridgeport, Aberdeen, Lansdowne, and Richmond–Brighouse stations.

Extra bus service will be available between Bridgeport and Richmond–Brighouse stations to provide customers with alternative service. Buses will stop at each impacted station (Bridgeport, Aberdeen, Lansdowne, and Richmond–Brighouse) and come approximately every 10 minutes.

We thank our customers for their patience while we continue the construction of Capstan Station. The station will provide better service for customers in the Capstan Village area of Richmond and remains on track to open in 2023. We will continue to communicate any customer impacts from construction when they are determined.
