O-Train Line 1 service will not operate between Tunney’s Pasture and Rideau stations from Monday, July 15 to Sunday, July 28 while OC Transpo and Rideau Transit Maintenance perform corrective maintenance work along that section of the line. Regular O-Train Line 1 service will resume on Monday, July 29, 2024.

It's interesting that they have a two week annual maintenance as part of their contract.

8 to 10 weeks assuming nothing crops up. That brings us to mid September to the start of October. No commitment to an opening date nor a final testing period.

The "Transitway" signage remaining is a bit... funny.

I mean, considering the transitway is still there and fully functional, I don't see what the problem is.

This is O-train south by the way, so its not replacing any transitway segments, simply interchanging with them.

Ahhh, gotcha.

During the partial closure of O-Train Line 1, a number of activities were successfully completed, including:

• Drilling and grouting of the tunnel from Lyon Station to east of Rideau Station to address excess water infiltration. This advances the work that took place last year and will reduce future maintenance work related to water infiltration and water damage to infrastructure.
• Application of sealant to concrete infrastructure east of Tunney’s Pasture Station to further reduce the need for future maintenance work related to water ingress and water damage.
• Continuation of the work started in 2023 and new remediation work to address water infiltration in certain sections of the downtown tunnel and targeted areas within Parliament and Lyon stations.
• Sealant treatment of concrete beds and track support infrastructure around Tunney’s Pasture Station and adjacent areas.
• General maintenance and cleaning activities, including the cleaning of glass and artwork, paint removal at specific locations in downtown tunnel stations, concrete, and tile repairs.
• The Stage 2 Contractor EWC (East-West Connectors) made significant progress with overhead catenary system tie-in work adjacent to Tunney’s Pasture station.
