The Valley Line West LRT project is a key part of Edmonton's long-term transit strategy to improve mobility across the city. This 14-kilometer extension of the light rail system is designed to connect the downtown core to the growing western areas of the city, including Lewis Farms. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, and offer a sustainable public transit option to residents. Work on this line began in 2021, and it is expected to enhance overall transit service by introducing state-of-the-art, low-floor LRT vehicles that integrate seamlessly into the urban environment.

Key components of the project include construction of stations, bridges, tunnels, and a new set of tracks designed to increase capacity and improve reliability. With the use of cutting-edge design principles, the project ensures minimal disruption to the existing infrastructure while improving the safety and efficiency of transit services in the area. Once complete, this expansion will significantly contribute to Edmonton’s environmental and economic sustainability, supporting the city’s goals for growth, reduced emissions, and enhanced public transportation access.
