Here's when LRT service will be disrupted in June for maintenance
There will be numerous disruptions to LRT service in Ottawa for two weeks in June for annual maintenance activities.
Transit Services general manager Renée Amilcar says the Rideau Transit Group (RTG) will be performing maintenance at different times between June 5 and June 19, which will require partial line closures. R1 buses will fill the gaps.
"Where possible, maintenance will occur during the evening hours to minimize impacts to customer travel. There are eight days, however, where R1 bus service will operate on a portion of the line for the full day," Amilcar wrote in a memo Tuesday.
RTG will be addressing water infiltration in the downtown tunnel, grinding the tracks across the entire line to reduce noise and vibration, inspecting and maintaining the overhead power system, removing vegetation within the guideway and performing other maintenance and cleaning.
The only day within that two-week period where there will be no service disruptions is Thursday, June 15.
Amilcar said R1 bus service will operate "frequently" during disruptions and staff and signage would be posted at stops to direct transit riders.
