Valley Line Southeast LRT to resume train testing

Aug. 29, 2023
Train testing was briefly paused in June when TransEd identified signaling cables that needed to be replaced along the alignment to improve long-term system reliability.

TransEd, the builder and operator of the Valley Line Southeast light-rail transit (LRT) in Edmonton, AB, anticipates train testing will resume downtown from the 102 Street stop to the Muttart stop.

Train testing was briefly paused in June when TransEd identified signaling cables that needed to be replaced along the alignment to improve long-term system reliability. In addition to the downtown area, cable replacement is also complete from Davies Station to the Mill Woods stop. Train testing resumed in that area during the week of Aug. 21. Line-wide testing will resume once all the new cables are installed.

More information about a potential opening date for Valley Line Southeast LRT will be provided as testing nears completion.
