Two phases of night work necessary to install support structures at station entrance

VANCOUVER, BC – The Canada Line’s Oakridge–41st Avenue Station will be closing at 11 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday nights over seven weeks, to allow for important upgrade work.

The temporary closures will happen in two phases and are necessary to ensure customer safety. Crews will be installing steel structural columns near the station entrance and large wooden beams to support the new canopy and roof.

Closures will take place at 11 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday nights only — excluding Friday and Saturday — during the following periods:

• Sunday, June 8 to Thursday, June 12
• Wednesday, July 2 to Wednesday, August 6
  • Excluding Sunday, August 3

During these periods, customers should allow for up to 20 minutes of additional travel time and use Route 15 and the N15 NightBus at Oakridge–41st Avenue Station to travel between King Edward and Langara–49th Avenue stations.

The current upgrades project will make the station more accessible and better equipped to serve the growing neighbourhood. Currently, over 7,000 people use Oakridge–41st Avenue Station and that number is expected to grow with increasing density in the surrounding area.

The full station upgrades are expected to be completed by the end of the year and will include:

• Two new escalators to improve accessibility at the station
• A new street-level station entrance canopy for better weather protection
• Direct underground mall access
• New public art inside the station
