KING George Station on the Expo Line will reopen at the start of SkyTrain service on Sunday, June 9.

A full station closure for six weeks was required to complete important upgrades as efficiently and safely as possible.

TransLink said on Thursday that the work was completed as expected and included removing parts of the rail to replace two turnouts, mechanical devices that guide trains from one track to another. This replaced section of track had been in use since the station first opened 30 years ago.

During the closure, multiple infrastructure upgrades in and around King George Station were also completed, including:

* Power rail work
* Cable installations
* Elevator and escalator repairs
* Electrical and lighting upgrades
* Station cleaning
