Section of Broadway to close for four months due to SkyTrain construction

A stretch of a major Vancouver street will be completely closed to traffic for four months early next year due to construction of the Broadway Subway project, the provincial government announced Thursday.

Beginning in January, crews will remove the traffic deck and reinstall utilities on Broadway between Main and Quebec streets.

“To complete this process as quickly as possible, vehicle traffic will be temporarily detoured around the block where work is taking place, the Ministry of Transportation and Transit said.

“After approximately four months, vehicle traffic will return to this section of Broadway with one lane in each direction for another four months as reconstruction is finished.”

This approach will minimize the impact on residents, businesses, and commuters, the ministry says.

“In summer 2026, this block of Broadway between Main and Quebec streets is scheduled to have four lanes open to traffic, wider sidewalks with the sidewalk on the south side of Broadway reconnected to Main Street, and most of the safety fencing removed.”

According to the ministry, pedestrian access to all businesses, services, and residences will remain open over the four months.

More to come.
