Where you’ll see Green Line construction in 2026
Construction on the Green Line LRT – SE Project began in June 2025 and will ramp up this year. Calgarians will see action mainly in the southernmost part of the route, between Shepard Station and the Bow River crossing (just north of Lynnwood/Millican Station), along with the Blackfoot Trail LRT Bridge project near Crossroads Market.
After completing initial site grading and utility servicing at the Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) in January, three additional contracts will be awarded this year to begin the facility’s main construction. Building the MSF remains a top priority to ensure we are prepared to receive, store and assemble the light rail vehicles (LRVs) scheduled to arrive in 2028.
Alongside building the MSF, we need to complete a section of track to test the LRVs and ensure they’re ready for service in 2031. To achieve this, the most effective approach is to begin construction at Shepard Station next to the MSF and extend up to the Bow River, providing enough track for testing. Procurement for this work is currently underway under the Shepard to Bow and Bow River construction packages.
This year will also see the completion of four key projects, including the Ogden Road Realignment, the 78 Avenue LRT Bridge, the Blackfoot Trail LRT Bridge, and the 114 Avenue and Barlow Trail Piling and Road Reconfiguration project. Work will also begin on the elevated guideway at 114 Avenue and Barlow Trail this summer.
Other construction packages that will be awarded this year include the Highfield package, the Elevated Stations package, the Ramsay Elevated Guideway, and others.
