      Ottawa and B.C. are spending more than $3 billion on the projects, which will see 5.7 kilometres of track and six stations added to the SkyTrain line along Broadway, helping to ease congestion on the busy corridor connecting east and west Vancouver.

       
       
       
       

      Eleven new stations will be built along 10.5 kilometres of street-level track in Surrey, creating the first light-rail system in B.C.

       

      The Surrey-Newton-Guildford LRT project is intended to make it easier to travel across the Lower Mainland.

       

      Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says the Broadway subway extension is one of the largest infrastructure projects in B.C. history.
