The 16-kilometre elevated guideway for the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is 65 per cent complete, the Journal of Commerce reported on November 11, 2026. Four specialized construction launchers are installing precast concrete segments in sections from both ends of the route and from points in between.

The launcher working on the Langley end of the route has completed about 3 kilometres from Hillcrest-184 Street Station through Langley and is now working through Willowbrook Station, the Journal of Commerce reported. Foundation piles and columns supporting the structure are nearly finished along that stretch.

Road restoration has started in sections where the guideway work is complete. Track installation began in spring 2026 and continues through 2027. Drivers near Willowbrook and the Langley City Centre construction zone should expect ongoing activity through that period.

The guideway requires more than 4,400 precast concrete segments, each weighing about 28 tonnes, the Journal of Commerce reported. More than 75 per cent of those segments have already been produced at a Surrey facility. The design-build contract for the guideway component is $4.01 billion, part of a total project cost of $5.996 billion.

Service on the extended line is expected in late 2029. Construction runs Monday to Saturday from 7 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 9 am to 10 pm, the Journal of Commerce reported.

Earlier this week, the Province announced a separate restriction on Fraser Highway between Whalley Boulevard and 140th Street, also for beam installation, running November 12 to December 12. That restriction is in Surrey and does not apply to Langley Township roads. Drivers on the Langley portion of the route and residents near the Willowbrook construction zone can check construction updates through TransLink and the Province's project pages.

Mayor [Jay Lundgren](/bc/langley-township-2026/candidates/jay-lundgren) made a campaign promise to press the Province and TransLink for roads and transit. His commitments are on the [tracker](/bc/langley-township-2026/tracker).
