Project overview
Hamilton: A vibrant and booming city where more Canadians are choosing to live, work and play than ever before. Rich with history, culture, sports, a booming restaurant scene and so much more, the city’s future looks bright.
The Hamilton LRT Project will play a key role in the revitalization of Hamilton’s urban environment by transforming the way that residents travel across the heart of the city. Modern light rail service will connect key areas, destinations and institutions along Queenston Road, Main Street and King Street, creating a 14 kilometre multi-modal corridor and an enhanced streetscape.
More than just transit
The Hamilton LRT isn't just a transit project. Included in the project scope will be a complete revitalization of both private and public utilities along the corridor, including water, gas, and telecommunications lines.

Infrastructure improvements will span the entire project corridor, and include:
- Replaced sewers
- All new watermains
