Where

Please see map below for noted work locations from Leitrim Station to Limebank Station.

Anticipated Impacts:

• Overnight work could be required to minimize impacts to traffic and to maximize the construction season.
• The intersection realignment at Earl Armstrong Road and Bowesville Road will have traffic implications and motorists, cyclists and pedestrians should follow construction signage.
• Construction of the new Leitrim Park & Ride could impact the existing facility, but communications will be made through OC Transpo about any impacts to transit users.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the O-Train Extension project. 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.
