[9] Forty other new low-floor light rail vehicles were ordered in 2021 from Hyundai Rotem for the Valley Line, to be put in service when phase 2 to Lewis Farms opens.

Within this line the proposed stops are: Quarters, Muttart, Strathearn, Holyrood, Bonnie Doon, Avonmore, Davies (to include a bus terminal and park & ride),[13] Millbourne/Woodvale, Grey Nuns, and Mill Woods Town Centre.

[11] In November 2011 City Council voted to allocate $800 million to the project, with the hopes of starting construction by 2014 and an expected completion date of 2018.

[15] A funding plan was approved in October 2012 in which the city would contribute $800 million into the project with the remaining $1 billion coming from the provincial and federal governments.

[32] In December 2019, completion of the line was pushed back until 2021 after TransEd found a car-sized piece of concrete underneath the north berm of the Tawatinâ Bridge.

[35][36] On August 10, 2022, the City of Edmonton and TransEd announced another delay, as inspections in mid-July found cracks in three supporting piers on elevated portions of the line.

[38][39] Before the damaged piers were discovered, trains were being tested on tracks between the Gerry Wright OMF and the Mill Woods stop.

[41] On January 3, 2023, the structural repairs of the cracked pillars were complete, and testing expanded to all sections of the line, including the elevated portions.

The remaining section south to Mill Woods was slated to be done after the line opened, with the work undertaken at night when no trains are running.

On October 24, the City of Edmonton announced that the line would open on November 4 after testing resumed and independent certifiers submitted final approval.

[44] An expansion to Lewis Farms, with the West Edmonton Mall en route, is under construction as part of the 27-kilometre (17 mi) Valley Line.
