SERVICE on the Canada Line between Bridgeport Station and Richmond–Brighouse Station will be temporarily impacted from November 21 to December 22 (Monday to Friday only).

During this time period, 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 Friday, December 23. 

TransLink says the temporary service changes are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and the public, as crews will be using a large crane to continue installing heavy pieces of steel to construct the station platforms. The crane cannot be used safely above the track while trains are in operation.

 

Canada Line Impacts: November 21 – December 22 (Monday – Friday)

Stations Service Impacts
Bridgeport – Richmond–Brighouse SkyTrain service ends at 9:30 p.m.

Extra bus service will be available

 

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 (Bridgeport, Aberdeen, Lansdowne, and Richmond–Brighouse) and run approximately every 10 minutes. 

Capstan Station will provide better service for customers in the Capstan Village area of Richmond and remains on track to open in 2023.
