The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain project has progressed into segment installation on Fraser ~~Highway, east of~~ Highway ~~15.~~ and expanded construction activities across the corridor. The Transportation Investment Corporation (TIC) ~~announced that the Clayton Clipper gantry will install concrete blocks for the line segment heading toward Clayton Heights. This work is scheduled for overnight and weekend operations from October 18~~ issued a construction advisory effective through ~~mid-November, which is expected to cause increased noise and temporary changes~~ late November 2026, covering sections from 138th Street to ~~road, sidewalk,~~ 203rd Street. Planned work includes station construction, utility relocation, guideway and ~~driveway access. Drivers~~ power substation installation, and ~~transit users may encounter intermittent traffic stoppages of up to two minutes during loading operations. Previously, construction activities expanded~~ track systems work. Roadwork has necessitated several closures. From September 21 to ~~the intersection of 203~~ October 12, 162nd Street ~~and~~ north of Fraser Highway faced 24/7 restrictions for road restoration. In late October, Industrial Avenue ~~on October 1~~ in Langley scheduled partial closures between 201A Street and 203 Street to facilitate concrete pouring ~~on an elevated guideway. This remains part of~~ and track installation near the ~~broader 16 km, eight-station line development.~~ future Langley City Centre Station. Additionally, overnight and weekend work between October 27 and November 8 at 140 Street and Fraser Highway involves a launching gantry for guideway installation, requiring detours via 96 Avenue, 100 Avenue, and King George Boulevard. To mitigate community impact, officials have implemented measures such as directing lighting toward work sites and reducing operational alarm volumes. In related transit operations, TransLink began a five-month period of overnight SkyTrain car testing on October 3. Conducted on weekends and select Mondays during non-operating hours, this testing is a prerequisite for the 2027 opening of a new 40,000-square-foot Operations Control Centre in Burnaby, intended to support network expansions such as the Broadway Subway Extension and the Dave Barrett Extension.
