Construction Update: June 2022

SUMMARY

Evergreen and C Street

Construction activity on the Mill Plain corridor continued at full speed in May, with more substantial work occurring at some locations as future BRT stations begin to take shape. Overall, construction remains focused primarily on the west side of the project corridor. Specific tasks have included excavation, sidewalk work and adding concrete bus pads in the roadway. Crews have also set the foundations of what will become station platforms at several locations. On the east end of the corridor and elsewhere, preparations continued for fiber and utility work that will happen concurrently with station construction.

MILESTONES

In May, workers installed the first steel shelter structures at two locations: Evergreen and C Street in downtown Vancouver, and at Mill Plain and V Street along the corridor. Additional shelter structures will continue to arrive in the coming months as work progresses at other locations.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Station construction will continue on the west end of the project corridor in June. Crews will begin work at some new locations as activity at other sites winds down. That’s part of the phased approach to construction, so different locations see activity at different times. For fiber and utility work, activity will increase on the east end of the corridor.

Construction Overview

C-TRAN officially broke ground on the Mill Plain BRT project in September 2021. Construction areas will include a new transit center near 184th Avenue and Mill Plain, and 37 new station platforms along the 10-mile Mill Plain corridor.

Construction will occur in phases during the two-year work period, meaning different areas will see construction activity at different times.

Current activity

Construction is underway at multiple locations. Expect to see construction activity at these future BRT station locations along the Mill Plain corridor:

  • Seventh Street at Turtle Place
  • Evergreen and C Street (eastbound)
  • Fort Vancouver Way (eastbound)
  • Reserve Street (westbound)
  • V Street (eastbound)
  • Grand Boulevard (westbound)
  • Brandt Road (eastbound)
  • Garrison Road (westbound)
  • Andresen Road (westbound)
  • 97th Avenue (westbound)
  • Evergreen and Broadway (westbound)

The length of construction at each location will vary as crews work to complete each new station. Each phase of work is expected to last approximately four to six months. The public should expect temporary closures of sidewalks, bus stops and traffic lanes; however, access to adjacent businesses will remain open.
