The Evergreen Line, which has a construction cost estimated at CA$889m (£568m), will link the Tri-Cities area to the existing Millennium Line.
EGRT ե֭ is led by design-build contractor SNC-Lavalin Constructors and includes a joint venture between SNC-Lavalin Constructors (Western) and Graham Building Service.
EGRT ե֭ will be responsible for the construction of elevated and at-grade guideways, a 2km bored tunnel, seven stations, power substations, train operating systems, parking facilities and a vehicle storage and light maintenance facility.
“We are honoured to have been selected for a project which will greatly enhance Metro Vancouver’s world-class mass transit network,” said Robert Card, president and CEO of SNC-Lavalin Group.
Work on the Evergreen Line will begin this month, with completion expected for the summer of 2016.
