Accessibility is an important consideration for the O-Train Extension project. All pedestrian, cycling, bus, and vehicular movements will generally be maintained during construction, with some detours. The O-Train Extension team makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require special accommodation, please contact stage2@ottawa.ca. The safety of the public and the workers is paramount, and we thank you for your patience during construction.

Work will be ongoing in these areas. Additional construction updates, such as changes to work sequencing and the duration or impact of this work will be communicated via the O-Train Extension project e-newsletter.
