Edmonton’s transit project marks major milestone
The City of Edmonton commemorated the first year of major construction on the 4.5-km (2.7-mile) Capital Line South LRT Extension.
The Capital Line, which began operating in 1978, currently runs from Clareview in north Edmonton to Century Park in south Edmonton.
The Capital Line South Extension is a high-floor LRT system that will be completed in two phases and help serve communities in south and southwest Edmonton, two of the city’s fastest-growing areas.
Major construction began early this year and is expected to be completed by 2029–2030.
The total project budget is $1.38 billion, and it will benefit Alberta residents by creating about 3,500 local jobs.
Capital Line Design-Build Ltd., a member of the Ledcor Group of Companies, with AECOM as its design partner, has been awarded the design-build contract for Phase 1 of the project.
