🚧 Oct 19 - Nov 3: Planned O-Train Line 1 maintenance 🚧

On specific days between Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, November 3, O-Train Line 1 service will be impacted by planned maintenance.

These adjustments will allow Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) to complete required works across the entire line as part of the ongoing efforts to improve the system’s overall reliability. The activities that will be undertaken include ballast work between Hurdman and Tremblay stations and rail grinding across the entire line. During the temporary closures other outstanding work will also be completed, such as the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM) inspection of the St-Laurent tunnel.

OC Transpo has worked closely with RTM to minimize customer impacts as much as possible during this work. As a result, throughout the maintenance period, work will be completed during weekends and late-night hours only, when ridership is lower. R1 bus service will run during impacts to Line 1 to allow customers to continue their trips.

Below is a detailed schedule outlining the service adjustments:

• October 19 and 20: Line 1 closed between Blair and uOttawa stations all day.
• October 22, 23, 29, and 30: From 11 pm, Line 1 closed between Blair and uOttawa stations. 
• October 26 and 27 and November 2 and 3: Full O-Train Line 1 closed all day.
