The ACCIONA-Ghella consortium led by ACCIONA has been selected by the Province of British Columbia as preferred proponent for the Broadway Subway Project. The project is an extension of the Millennium Line and a key link in Metro Vancouver’s transportation system.
The C$2.83 billion ($2.1 billion) contract includes the design and construction of 5.7 kilometers (3.5 miles) of new network, part of which will be underground, including twin tunnels with an excavation diameter of six meters (19.7 feet) (5.2 meters/17 feet internal diameter) as well as six new stations.
Construction of the subway will involve works starting in 2020, with the new extension opening in 2025. This will be the fifth extension of the metro system that was inaugurated in 1986. Once in service, the journey time on the Millennium Line will take 11 minutes, saving passengers an average of 30 minutes a day while alleviating traffic congestion in the city.
