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.

I can't figure out how to link or embed a video properly so I removed that broken window, but here's the Youtube URL. Video of the L-line in operation:

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.

Updated the master list to reflect
  • Tacoma Link streetcar moved to complete
  • Orlando Brightline intercity extension moved to complete
  • Milwaukee streetcar Lakefront branch moved to complete
  • Edmonton Valley light rail phase 1 moved to complete. Phase 2 remains on the construction list.
Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming as they happen!

Great list! Thanks for keeping it up for so many years!

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.

Just noticed that Phase I of Boston South Coast Rail -37 miles is still missing from the list.

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.
