Storage and Maintenance Facilities Projects
SkyTrain’s existing storage and maintenance facilities are at capacity. We need more space to grow our train fleet and unlock SkyTrain’s expansion to new parts of Metro Vancouver.
Construction of SkyTrain’s newest maintenance and storage facility is underway between Braid and Lougheed SkyTrain stations. The 27-acre facility will increase SkyTrain’s yard storage capacity by about 60 per cent, and maintenance capacity by about 75 per cent, a much-needed major expansion after 40 years of SkyTrain’s operation.
Construction began in 2020 and is expected to be completed in 2029.
Changes to Services
Starting Feb. 25, 2024, for approximately two years, there will be service pattern changes on Expo Line when traveling from Columbia toward Production Way-University Station.
The service changes are required while the track is closed, on one side at a time, between Braid station and Lougheed Town Centre station as part of constructing a new SkyTrain maintenance facility in Coquitlam. The facility is crucial to support future increases to service levels as well as the upcoming province-built Broadway Subway extension of Millennium Line, and the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension of Expo Line.
Customers should check train and platform announcements to ensure they are boarding the correct train for their destination.
