Construction begins for USD2.34 billion Subway PPP project in Canada

The joint venture of GHELLA and Acciona has commenced the construction works for the Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver, Canada. The project involves a 5.7-kilometre extension of Vancouver’s Millennium Line, which will add six stops to one the City’s most bustling neighborhoods and connect VCC-Clark Station to Broadway and Arbutus. The aim is to provide a faster, affordable and more convenient travel experience for metro passengers.

The first priority of the construction team will be to construct traffic decks to allow for the continued flow of traffic along Broadway while the construction continues below ground. This innovative engineering solution involves drilling and placing vertical columns to support steel plates for the traffic decks. Later this year, work will begin on the elevated guideway and tunnel portal that will provide access to the underground portion of the new line.

The majority of the line will be built underground using a pair of tunnel boring machines. Next year, both machines will have a staggered launch from the Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station. This approach, along with traffic decking on Broadway, will minimize the impact on businesses, residents and people travelling to the area.

Over the past several months, work on the Broadway Subway Project has focused on site preparation, building demolition and utility relocations. The new subway line is expected to open in 2025.
