The Broadway Subway Project will see the addition of six underground stations and 5.7 kilometres of track to the Millennium Line. The extension will run from VCC-Clark Station to Arbutus Street; 700 metres will be elevated guideway and the remainder will be tunneled. The commute from VCC-Clark to Arbutus Station will take 11 minutes, saving the average transit commuter almost 30 minutes a day and will relieve congestion along Broadway. In 2024, tunnel boring operations finished, marking the completion of the most technically complex and challenging part of the new subway construction.
