At
a length of nearly 19 km, the Canada Line will be an automated rail-based rapid
transit service connecting Vancouver
with central Richmond and the
Vancouver Airport -- linking
growing residential, business, health care, educational and other centres in the
region -- and adding transit capacity equivalent to 10 major road lanes. The
Canada Line will connect with existing rapid transit
lines at Waterfront Station and major east-west transit services, creating an
enhanced transit network to serve the region.
The Canada Line project will consist of:
An underground tunnel from Waterfront Station in
downtown Vancouver going
south under Granville Street,
Davie Street, False Creek,
and Cambie Street to south of 64th Avenue;
An elevated guide way climbing from south of 64th Avenue across the Fraser River
to Bridgeport Station in Richmond, and continuing west to Sea Island and
Vancouver Airport and south to central Richmond along No. 3 Road;
A park-and-ride facility at the Bridgeport Station and bus exchanges at
Bridgeport, Marine Drive and Richmond City Centre Stations; and
A total of 16 stations along the route: four in Richmond, three on Sea Island
and nine in Vancouver.
