This work cannot be completed during normal engineering hours, OC Transpo says. Residents may see trains operating on Line 1 during the service suspension as part of the testing work.
Replacement bus service, or R1, will be running between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations all day Saturday and again Sunday between 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
The city’s managing director of transport, Renée Amilcar, says a shuttle bus will run between St. Laurent and Cyrville stations and between Lees Station and the Mackenzie King Bridge.
“We appreciate that this work is disruptive to our customers and apologize for any inconvenience,” she said in the release.
“We continue to work collaboratively with both East-West Connectors and Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) to minimize impacts to customers wherever possible.”
Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) will also be completing other work on Line 1 later this fall, which may cause further temporary service adjustments.
The city said further information will be shared as soon as they’re done planning for these activities.
