OC Transpo LRT to close for maintenance off and on over next two weeks

Article content

O-Train riders should prepare for new shutdowns as planned maintenance will mean a section of O-Train Line 1 service will shut down on Saturday for the day.

There will be rotating shutdowns starting this weekend and continuing on weekends and late at night on some weekdays as Rideau Transit Maintenance performs the required work, the city says.

Regular service is expected to resume Monday, Nov. 4.
