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 2024, work continued on two new bridges. The Anthony Henday Drive LRT bridge will connect West Edmonton to Lewis Farms, and other bridge will cross Groat Road at Stony Plain Road. Light rail vehicles (LRVs) will share the Stony Plain Road Bridge with motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. The new bridge over Anthony Henday Drive will be dedicated solely to Valley Line LRVs.
