Fraser River Line

The Fraser River Line is one of the six lines of the Greater Vancouver Metro operated by the BC Hydro Railway on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Transit Authority.

The Fraser River Line connects to the Olympic Line at UBC Centre Station, to the Central Line at New Westminster Station, and to the Evergreen Line at Columbia Station. Between Marine Drive-70th Avenue Station and Marpole Station it shares track with the Expo Line.

Route


From UBC Centre to Milepost 6.6 just west of Marine Drive-70th Avenue Station the line is underground, and from that point to Milepost 13.3, west of Nelson Station, the line is at ground level. From Milepost 13.3 it moves to an elevated guideway, on which it remains for a short distance past New Westminster Station before returning underground. Columbia Station is itself underground; immediately east of there the line turns onto a bridge across the Fraser River; this bridge becomes an elevated guideway for the remainder of the line to Liverpool Station.
