EGRT Construction is the consortium who will design and build the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project. The 11 kilometre light rail transit will connect with and extend TransLink’s existing SkyTrain System from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby through Port Moody, to Douglas College in Coquitlam. EGRT Construction will be responsible for the construction of elevated and at-grade guideways, a two-kilometre bored tunnel, seven stations, power substations, train operating systems, parking facilities, and a vehicle storage and light maintenance facility. The Evergreen Line is expected to be complete in the summer of 2016.
