Traffic decks along Broadway subway line to be removed as project still behind schedule

Residents living and working above the future Broadway subway stations will start to see some changes to the construction starting in the new year.

The B.C. government says that beginning at the Mount Pleasant station in January 2026, crews will dismantle and remove the traffic deck that supports the roadway between Main and Quebec streets.

The traffic decks, five temporary bridges, were built at street level at the start of the project to keep traffic moving along Broadway during construction of the underground stations.

The government says that when those traffic decks are removed, crews will reinstall permanent utilities, cover the station roof in soil and repave the street.

Pedestrian access to all businesses and homes will remain open but traffic will be detoured temporarily aro
