Originally set to open in August 2022, the City of Ottawa now says the extended North-South light-rail transit route will not be handover until at least November.
Ottawa's north-south LRT line will not reopen until at least November, according to the latest update from the city's rail construction program director.
The update is based on a review of training requirements and slow progress on signal testing, with the overall handover now set to happen "no sooner than early November."After that happens there needs to be "additional internal testing" on top of the three-week trial running, transit commission chair Glen Gower told CBC. It's unclear how long that will take.
A single track is used for much of the Trillium Line's north end, including through the tunnel under Dow's Lake.The latest delay comes on the heels of a multi-week, system-wide shutdown of the LRT caused by a recurring bearing issue that's sparked new maintenance requirements and frustrated commuters.
