If there's 1 section I do hope is underground - it's 16th and Center. That intersection does not need train delays to add to its current misery.
Sounds like the north line will not be going under the river and instead will have to use Center Street.

LRTs should roll across the Centre Street Bridge in the future, because tunnelling a northbound CTrain line from Eau Claire would be too expensive, transit planners have decided.

It’s a reversal in thinking for Calgary Transit officials, who publicly showed preference in August for a train tunnel that bored underneath the Bow River and deep beneath Crescent Heights, emerging in the middle of Centre Street at 24th Avenue N. for its journey to Country Hills.
