About The Project
The Valley Line West LRT project is the next phase of Edmonton’s light rail transit expansion. This project represents a 14-kilometre extension from downtown Edmonton to Lewis Farms in west Edmonton. The low-floor, community-integrated, urban-style LRT will help move more people along key corridors as Edmonton grows into a city of two million over the coming decades. In 2025 accelerated roadwork continued, with the three-phased plan started in mid-April and completed by the end of November. .
