We’re constantly working on our system, and as part of the TransLink Maintenance and Repair Program, Commercial–Broadway Station’s receiving upgrades to meet the needs of our growing region.

Improvements include an additional platform for Expo Line trains, a widened crossing over the Grandview Cut and a new pedestrian walkway over Broadway. Two new elevators and four up-and-down escalators are also being added to improve accessibility and customer convenience.

Check out the progress that’s been made since our last post!

The project, which is nearing completion, hits another major milestone on Friday, June 15. This will result in temporary changes for people travelling in the area.

June 15, 9 p.m. to June 25: Temporary westbound bus stops for 9 and 99, and entrance closure

From 9 p.m. June 15 to June 25, the westbound 9 and 99 stops will move to the west side of Commercial Drive while crews make repairs to the existing sidewalk and plaza area, and complete the new bus shelter and permanent queuing system for the 99 B-Line.

The station entrance beside Shoppers Drug Mart will also be closed during this time. SkyTrain customers will enter or exit the station from the Commercial Drive entrance or the Broadway entrance on the south side of the street.

On June 25, the new 99 B-Line bus shelter and queuing system will open, and the westbound 9 and 99 bus stops will move to their permanent locations outside Commercial–Broadway Station.

June 15, 9 p.m. – June 17, 8 a.m.: Broadway road closure

Broadway will be fully closed in both directions from Victoria Drive to Commercial Drive, beginning 9 p.m. Friday, June 15 and continuing until 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 17. There will also be a full eastbound closure from June 17, 11 p.m. to June 18, 5 a.m., and a full westbound closure June 18, 11 p.m. – June 19, 5 a.m.

These closures are required so crews can remove the temporary work platform that has been used to construct the new pedestrian walkway over Broadway, which was lifted into place in fall 2017.

Construction work is weather dependent and the dates/times of the road closures are subject to change. We recognize that some customers and our neighbours will be affected by this work and we thank everyone for their patience while we improve Commercial-Broadway Station.
