The City of Edmonton has shortlisted 3 bidders to participate in the Request for Proposals for the design and manufacturing of up to 53 new high-floor light-rail vehicles (LRVs). The City of Edmonton’s Evaluation Committee has shortlisted the following teams:
In 2024, a Request for Qualifications was shared and the City received strong interest from industry, with a total of 6 submissions received from international bidding teams. The City anticipates awarding the LRV contract in late 2025, with delivery of vehicles anticipated in 2028 and 2029.
Ledcor, the Design-Build contractor for the project, has implemented a major lane shift at the 23 Avenue and 111 Street intersection. This change is necessary for the construction of the LRT underpass, providing crews enough space to work. The change is anticipated to be in place for approximately two years. Please refer to the construction notice for further information.
Ledcor, the Design-Build contractor for the project, has removed trees as well as the berm on the west side of 111 Street, between 23 Avenue and Saddleback Road/19 Avenue. This work is necessary to prepare the area for the LRT track and the entrance of the LRT underpass at the 23 Avenue and 111 Street intersection. Ledcor is also removing select trees near Century Park. Berm and retaining wall removal will take place this winter.
Ledcor has begun installing approximately 1,100 concrete piles at 23 Avenue and 111 Street. These piles will eventually support the LRT underpass that will run underneath the intersection. This work is anticipated to continue until October 2025 and resume in 2026.
The extension will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 will extend the line from Century Park to just north of Ellerslie Road, and Phase 2 will extend from Ellerslie Road to Allard/Desrochers. Concept design for Phase 2 has been advanced.
Capital Line South Phase 1 (Century Park to just north of Ellerslie Road) is a 4.5 km long, high floor LRT and includes:
