The mainline is being raised several feet to create the clearance underneath. This won't be like the Weber underpass where the rail line was left in place and the road lowered, as that creates a road grade that's too steep for the LRT. Raising it also makes the intermodal station design better, as the pedestrian access can go underneath the rail lines to the different platforms.
The grading of the tracks means they have to be raised past Waterloo street, as you don't want the intermodal platform to be at a significant grade. My understanding the grading work will go all the way from Park to Weber.
