The Broadway Subway is a 5.7-kilometre extension of the Millennium Line from VCC-Clark Station to Broadway and Arbutus in Vancouver. Six new underground stations will connect communities and neighbourhoods to make it easier and more affordable to live, work, shop and access services along Broadway.
The contract with the Broadway Subway Project Corporation to design, construct and partially finance the Broadway Subway Project is valued at $1.728 billion. The contract was awarded to the Broadway Subway Project Corporation, an Acciona-Ghella joint venture.
The budget of the whole Broadway Subway project budget is $2.83 billion, funded and delivered by the Government of B.C., with contributions from the Government of Canada and the City of Vancouver.
