About

Valley Line Southeast Light Rail Transit (LRT) connects Mill Woods to downtown 102 Street Edmonton with about 13.1 km of light rail transit. This stage includes 11 stops, an elevated station incorporating a transit centre and Park & Ride, and a transfer point to the existing LRT routes at Churchill Connector.

The Valley Line Southeast is different from the Capital/Metro Line high-floor LRT system. The Valley Line Southeast features new, low-floor, urban-styled trains that provide more pedestrian-friendly access at street-level stops. And, in residential and commercial areas, embedded tracks are integrated into the established design and traffic flow of the area.

Pre-construction work began in March 2016 and Valley Line Southeast trains opened for passenger service on November 4, 2023.

Edmonton is one of Canada’s fastest growing cities and transportation needs are outpacing its infrastructure capacity. As a modern, dynamic city, Edmonton needs a transportation system that is reliable and accessible while accommodating growth in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable way.

 An investment in light rail transit (LRT) ensures the city continues to thrive, equipped with an efficient way to get people where they need to go.

The LRT network is part of the City’s Transportation Master Plan and is integral to keeping our city running smoothly.

TransEd Partners is composed of Bechtel, EllisDon, Bombardier, and Fengate Capital Management Ltd., together with the added expertise of Arup Canada and IBI Group—each world leading experts in design, engineering, construction, transportation solutions, project management and finance.

In a public-private partnership (P3) with the City of Edmonton, TransEd Partners is responsible to not only design and build stage one of the Valley Line LRT, but also to operate and maintain the line for 30 years.

This model allows for greater potential cost savings, innovation and on-time delivery—giving Edmontonians the best value for their tax dollars.
