TransLink is reopening the Millennium Line escalators at Commercial–Broadway SkyTrain Station in Vancouver, Canada, on September 27. On the same day, the second phase of the escalator replacement project will begin on the north escalators, which connect to the Expo Line platforms. During construction, the staircase accompanying these escalators will also close for safety; the elevator will remain open. Alternate escalator, elevator and stair access to the Expo Line platforms will be available across the street on the south side of East Broadway Avenue. These escalators have been in operation for more than 20 years. The new escalators are more durable and feature variable speed to save power. They are also easier for staff to maintain and will minimize future downtime. This CAD10.5 million (US$7.7 million) project is funded through the TransLink Capital Program and is expected to be completed in fall 2025.
