Lead technical advisor for CAD 4.6bn LRT project in Canada
Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) have selected Stantec to provide technical advisory services for the CAD 4.6 billion (USA 3.28 billion) Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, which will connect the growing cities of Mississauga and Brampton, just outside of Toronto.
The Hurontario LRT will run 18 kilometres of service from the Port Credit GO regional rail station near Lake Ontario to the Brampton Gateway Terminal, and include 19 stops along the way. The project also encompasses operations, maintenance, and storage facility located at Highway 407. As a lead technical advisor, Stantec will provide design, construction, and commissioning oversight services to ensure the successful delivery of the project from groundbreaking to ribbon cutting. Design review services on this project have already commenced and are proceeding at this time under Ontario’s definition of allowable construction projects.
The Hurontario LRT project is one of the largest transit projects undertaken by Metrolinx in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and one of a series of major transportation investments being led by Metrolinx and IO to improve transit within the province. The new LRT service will run electric trains along Hurontario Street in a dedicated guideway and will also provide an anchor for high density development along the corridor for both cities.
Metrolinx and IO are delivering the Hurontario LRT through a public-private partnership (P3) contract, which has a strong track record in Ontario. After completion, the LRT line will be operated and maintained by the Mobilinx Consortium but will remain publicly owned by Metrolinx. Project construction is expected to be completed in 2024.
