Ottawa’s Confederation Line is set to undergo maintenance work this coming weekend, while the Trillium Line is preparing for extended downtime amid work to expand the light-rail system farther south.
OC Transpo says the east-west LRT line will be closed from May 2-3 and May 9-13 to allow Rideau Transit Group (RTG), the consortium of builders tasked with building and maintaining the first phase of light rail in Ottawa, to complete much-needed repairs and improvements to the line.
The local transit agency says it’s using the dropoff in ridership related to the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to let RTG shut down the line for maintenance.
