Metrolinx’s CEO says the Hazel McCallion Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in Mississauga and Brampton is not expected to be completed until 2027. Both outlets report that the timeline reflects that substantial work remains after construction, including major testing, before the system can be finalized.
According to the reports, construction must first finish for the line and its related infrastructure. After that, the project moves into a testing phase, which includes verifying system performance and readiness for operations. The sources frame the 2027 completion expectation as a result of these post-construction requirements, rather than a specific change to construction scope.
While both outlets align on the general 2027 expectation and the need for extensive testing after construction, their emphasis differs slightly: one highlights the transition to testing after infrastructure work, while the other stresses that the likelihood of completing the build by 2027 depends on completing those testing steps as well.
