Capstan Station construction: Canada Line service in Richmond ending early for 5 weeks

SERVICE on the Canada Line between Bridgeport Station and Richmond–Brighouse Station will be temporarily impacted due to construction from April 11 until May 12, TransLink announced on Tuesday.

During this time period – Monday to Friday only – service will end at 9:30 p.m. (approximately four hours early), allowing construction crews to continue work on the new Capstan Station.

Regular service will resume on Saturday, May 13.

These temporary impacts will mainly affect customers travelling to and from Bridgeport, Aberdeen, Lansdowne, and Richmond–Brighouse stations.

Extra bus service will be available between Bridgeport and Richmond–Brighouse stations to provide customers with alternative service. Buses will stop at each impacted station and run approximately every 10 minutes.

The temporary service changes are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and the public, as crews will be conducting work in close proximity to the track.
