Work on the Evergreen Line is expected to begin in February 2013, with completion expected for the summer of 2016.
"We are honoured to have been selected for a project that will greatly enhance Metro Vancouver’s world-class mass transit network," said Robert Card, president and CEO, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. "We are also pleased to be working with the government of BC to once again deliver a sustainable rapid transit system that will link communities in the northeast sector to downtown Vancouver."
The Evergreen Line will link the Tri-Cities area to the existing Millennium Line for the first time through rapid transit. The new system is expected to support community growth and development along the route and near the stations by providing better transit connections between regional centres and downtown Vancouver.
