    Evergreen Transit Line Linking Coquitlam To Vancouver Won't Be Operational Until 2017

    The Canadian Press, 27 Nov, 2015 10:04 AM
       
      COQUITLAM, B.C. — The opening of a Evergreen SkyTrain transit line linking Coquitlam, B.C., to Vancouver has been delayed.
       
      The Ministry of Transportation says that tunnel boring for the line is complete, but it will not be operational until 2017.
       
      The rapid transit extension will link Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam to the existing SkyTrain system, and was scheduled to be in service by summer 2016.
       
      A boring machine given the name Alice drilled a two-kilometre tunnel from the Barnet Highway in Port Moody to Kemsley Avenue in Coquitlam.
       
      Transportation Minister Todd Stone says in a news release that the wrap up of the boring work means the project is more than 75 per cent complete.
       
      Stone say when the line is up and running, the province will have the longest, fully automated rapid transit network in the world.
