That’s a little too long for laying tracks and electrical lines.
Although even in the Italian city I take for reference, Bologna, construction of line 1 started in 2023 and is expected to finish complete in 2026. If it was a private company with no external contract awarding, it sure wouldn’t take this long.
Belgian here. Our ex PM’s two brothers have been caught printing fake money in connection with the cosa nostra. It may help to explain our tenancies to have never ending public work. Embezzlement doesn’t help not to overrun delays and budget.
My city used to have 19 tramlines and 4 trolleys a century ago
Now we have zero and we are building one using a private-public funding-scheme.
There’ve been accusation of corruptions. The tramline is still being built (almost 10 years now).

Rail infrastructure projects can take decades. Land acquisition alone can take 10 years.
This is after planning and awarding. It’s 3 years just for phisical construction.
These project can be sped up massively if there is prior land available to use as rail. For example a road or street, too bad we don’t have those.
I’d ask if you’re in Ottawa but it could probably be any city in Canada or the US 🙃
Missed. Western europe.
