Scott Road is an elevated station on the Expo Line within the Metro Vancouver SkyTrain rapid transit network. Positioned near the southern terminus of the Pattullo Bridge in Surrey's South Westminster district, it also caters to the nearby Bridgeview section of Whalley. The junction where King George Boulevard meets Scott Road is located just to the north of the station. Initially opened on March 16, 1990, this station underwent renovations between 2013 and 2014.
History
On March 16, 1990, Scott Road station commenced operations as part of the inaugural extension of the original SkyTrain line (currently known as the Expo Line). This expansion incorporated both Scott Road and Columbia stations, along with the SkyBridge crossing over the Fraser River. Until 1994, Scott Road functioned as the eastern terminus before a further three-station extension reached Surrey City Centre.
Starting in early 2013, the Expo Line Upgrade initiative brought enhancements including a new elevator, improved accessibility features, an expanded bus loop, and a larger parking facility. These improvements were finalized by 2014.
During the 2000s, there was a proposal to establish Scott Road as either an infill stop or a relocated northern terminus for Amtrak's Cascades intercity rail service. This adjustment was intended to reduce congestion on the adjacent New Westminster Rail Bridge, facilitate additional round trips between Seattle and Metro Vancouver, and enable passengers to conveniently transfer to SkyTrain for downtown Vancouver access without increasing travel time from Scott Road.
