HURONTARIO PROJECT - Light Rail Transit

Since 2023, Italferr has been working on the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. This is one of the most significant strategic initiatives promoted by the Government of Ontario to upgrade and improve the efficiency of public transport in the Toronto and Hamilton metropolitan area. The new line will cross Mississauga and Brampton along Hurontario Street, providing a modern, sustainable connection fully integrated with existing local transit networks.

The line will be about 18 km long and will connect Port Credit GO Station in south Mississauga to the Gateway Terminal on Steeles Avenue in Brampton. The new infrastructure will have 19 stops, with the possibility of further extensions in the future to support urban growth.

The LRT will run on a dedicated permanent way, completely separated from vehicle traffic, along a route that will include at-grade sections, elevated sections and an underground segment at Port Credit station. The electric trains will be powered by a 750 DCV catenary system. An Operational Maintenance Storage Facility (OMSF), a modern centre for storing and maintaining light vehicles, will be built south of Highway 407.

Italferr is playing a key role in this ambitious infrastructure project, providing a wide range of special engineering support services directly commissioned by Mobilinx, the contractor responsible for building the new LRT system. The company's contribution covers the whole project life cycle, from design to construction, final certification and commissioning, with a special focus on managing and controlling civil engineering safety requirements and carrying out verification and validation activities.
