Milwaukee's lakefront streetcar line (L Line) is opening on October 29th. It won't stop at the transit center located under the Couture tower until construction is complete there.

In Canada, phase 1 of Edmonton's Valley LRT line (the SE segment) opened the other day.
This first phase is 13 km (8 miles) long, not 40 km (25 miles) as written in the OP. |
Edmonton's Valley Line opened on November 4th, to be exact.

Technically the Crenshaw/K line was fully completed in its entirety and accepted by metro back in 2022. The southern part has never opened due to the construction of an infill station to connect to the LAX people mover that began immediately (maybe the next day) after the line was completed. I guess they can be considered one project but there's nothing under construction except the infill station. The completed tracks and station south of that have been untouched and unused since 2022. |
Thanks for the update! So let me make sure I understand. Please confirm this is correct, or clarify what I got wrong: The "Crenshaw line" opened in 2022, but there is still a 2-mile section yet to open that will connect to the airport people mover. On this section, the tracks are done, but the connecting station is not yet done. Yes?
Assuming that's correct, I've changed the project title on the front page from "Los Angeles Crenshaw extension section two" to "Los Angeles Crenshaw line airport extension." However, the "airport extension" will remain listed as a 2-mile under construction project, because those 2 miles do not yet carry passengers. Every project has some components that finish sooner than others, but what qualifies as "no longer under construction" for the purposes of this list is when it's open to passengers. |

Thanks. I've edited the list to include it.

A couple changes for the front page list:
- KC Streetcar Main St extension is well underway and opening in 2025. 3.5 miles in length. https://kcstreetcar.org/about-street...eet-extension/ - Dallas Silver Line commuter rail is under construction. 26 miles and opening in 2025 or 2026. https://www.dart.org/about/plans-pro...r-line-project - LIRR East Side Access in New York opened 1/25/2023. |
Phoenix NW extension opened today and can be moved to complete.
https://www.valleymetro.org/project/...ase-ii/opening |
The DART Silver Line feels like it's been under construction forever. Some parts of it look like they are nearly done and the actual trains are already delivered, but then there are other parts that look like they only recently got started building.
Wish they'd maybe get a move on and hurry it up. At least its not as bad as the DC Purple Line Project. |

Seattle's Sound Transit has two Link openings planned this year:
East Link (Two Line) will open a starter line April 27. This is only from South Bellevue to Redmond Tech Station. The Seattle connection needs some rework and will open next year. An extension to Downtown Redmond was always going to be next year. The Seattle extension will also use the existing One Line rails northward through town, improving frequency. Lynnwood (the latest One Line extension to the north, with another planned) will open August 30. Federal Way (the latest One Line south extension, with another planned) will open in 2026. We're still trying to figure out the alignment and stations for the Ballard and West Seattle lines, with further study before the final EIS because leadership keeps thinking of new ideas and cost estimates have risen. https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion |
After long funding struggle, MetroLink extension to MidAmerica airport moves forward

Saint Louis is dying for a north-south line. That's a serious no-brainer.
But Mid-America Aiport is... extremely questionable to say the least. Who's going to pay for Metrolink to operate that? |

Milwaukee has been cutting bus service for over a decade to build a streetcar. So sad.
‘There is nowhere else to cut’: 16 Milwaukee bus routes could be eliminated by 2025 Milwaukee Transit in Crisis, Faces Massive Cuts Ridership in 2011: 45,656,600 Ridership in 2019: 26,960,800 19 million riders lost, a 41% decline in only a 8-year span. But congratulations on your new streetcar, Milwaukee! |
