The city said Marigold Infrastructure Partners will design, build and partially finance the 14-kilometre Valley Line West LRT project.

Construction of the west portion of the Valley Line LRT could begin in 2021.

The City of Edmonton is working on a couple of construction projects that will lead to service delays along the LRT through October and November. 

City officials said water was found to be leaking along the Stadium Station lower concourse walls and roof, and cracks were found in the concrete.

A downtown Edmonton intersection that was closed for LRT construction — at 97 Street and 102 Avenue —  will reopen Wednesday, five days ahead of schedule.

The construction will mean Edmonton Transit will have to make some changes and accommodations to bus service.

Beginning on Monday, 100 Street at 102 Avenue will be closed so TransEd can build Valley Line LRT tracks across the intersection.

Starting on Friday, the intersection at 101 Street and 102 Avenue will be closed for approximately four weeks, TransEd said in a media release Thursday.

As construction on the Valley Line LRT continues, the City of Edmonton announced Friday that 95 Avenue in the Strathearn community will be closed for the entire 2019 construction season.

A sinkhole that appeared on 95 Avenue at 86 Street Monday has forced an emergency road closure for several blocks along a future LRT route near Edmonton's river valley.
