Ottawa LRT closing early in final 2 weeks of June for maintenance

Ottawa’s light-rail transit line will close at 7 p.m. each night from June 17 to June 30 for “seasonal track maintenance,” OC Transpo said Monday.

The transit agency said full Confederation Line LRT service will resume at 5 a.m. every weekday and at 6 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. on Sundays.

R1 replacement bus service will run between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations starting at 7 p.m. until the end of service.

Most stations along the line will be closed at that time, though ticket machines will be available for riders.
