At the very least, we should expect some kind of press release, I was just thinking with some of the end-times events like wildfires, floods, and the Elks starting to win, the Valley Line LRT might be included.

It "feels" like they should have had one by now. I was half expecting something myself by now. Went and did some looking back. Cable issue announced June 26. 6-8 weeks to fix. Today concludes week 10 since the announcement came on a Monday. And it wasn't like it took a week to mobilize. They mobilized by the Monday of the announcement and got to work.
Normally they say no news is good news, but, with TransEd it's the opposite. The longer the delay, the worse the news is.

I remember seeing the NAIT (Metro) line being opened on a rainy Sunday morning in September 2015, by Mayor Iveson, to little fanfare. I wonder if the City will do the same thing September 3, keeping this event low-key.

I think they made it so low key because the system barely functioned lol. Weren’t trains max speed like 15 km/h?

100%. TransEd usually seems giddy to announce new successes of completed repairs/progress but their radio silence on this is deafening. I’m really hoping that more issues weren’t discovered during cable replacement.

I saw the fencing off at all of the stations today.

Barricades across the entrances of the stations in Millwoods say permit required no trespassing still.

Looks like WPE has been doing some work on the overhead catenary at the 38 Ave station. There is some new shiny copper jumpers between the cables just south of the breaker on the southbound track.

Here are some photos of Stony Plain Rd from about a week ago. It looks like most of the drainage infrastructure is in place so tracks and road surfacing may not be far away.

I wonder if the electrical infrastructure and pilings have been installed.

Duct banks and OCS piles have not been installed here yet. I don’t anticipate that until October-November of this year.

But, I do believe that area of stony plain road will be the first to have the track bed completed

More testing on the Valley Line today.

Did you expect it to open by today? They haven’t fully completed the independent safety certification process yet.

Couple of work trucks on the elevated trackway over coronet/argyll. Didn't see any LRV's out

I didn’t expect it to open, but I do think it would be nice to hear from TransEd, now that the cable installation looks complete.
