'''Scott Road''' is an elevated station on the [[Expo Line (SkyTrain)|Expo Line]] of [[Metro Vancouver]]'s [[SkyTrain (Vancouver)|SkyTrain]] [[rapid transit]] system. The station is located near the south end of the [[Pattullo Bridge]] in the [[South Westminster]] neighbourhood of [[Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey]], British Columbia, Canada. It also serves the [[Bridgeview, Surrey|Bridgeview]] neighbourhood of [[Whalley / City Centre|Whalley]], and the interchange between [[King George Boulevard]] and Scott Road is located to the north of the station. The station opened on March 16, 1990, and was renovated from 2013 to 2014.
==History==
Scott Road station opened on March 16, 1990 as part of the first extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the [[Expo Line (TransLink)|Expo Line]]). This extension included two stations—Scott Road and [[Columbia station (SkyTrain)|Columbia]] in neighbouring New Westminster—as well as the SkyBridge over the Fraser River.<ref>{{cite news |last=Schaefer |first=Glen |date=March 16, 1990 |title=Ride across river offers new views |page=14 |work=The Province |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/114333349/ride-across-river-offers-new-views/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=December 8, 2022}}</ref> Scott Road station served as the eastern terminus of the Expo Line until a three-station extension to [[Surrey City Centre]] was completed in 1994.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SkyTrain Your City to City Connection |url=https://www.translink.ca/-/media/Documents/rider_guide/Buzzer-Vault/1990s/1994/Buzzer_1994_03_11.pdf |date=March 11, 1994 |work=The Buzzer |publisher=[[BC Transit]] |accessdate=February 2, 2020}}</ref>
Scott Road station underwent several upgrades beginning in early 2013, improvements included a new elevator and better accessibly, as well as a new bus loop with an upgraded parking lot.

Construction was completed in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |title=Scott Road Station Upgrades |url=http://www.translink.ca/en/Plans-and-Projects/Station-and-Exchange-Improvements/Expo-Line-Upgrades/Scott-Road-Station-Upgrades.aspx |publisher=TransLink |accessdate=18 May 2015}}</ref>
==Services==
