LRT West Extension Hit by Storm | Ottawa News
Description
The LRT’s Stage Two West Extension, poised to connect Tunney’s Pasture to Algonquin with 15 km of track and 11 new stations, hit a major snag after a devastating Canada Day rainstorm. Heavy flooding damaged electrical systems, tracks, and infrastructure—especially around Moodie Station—forcing inspections and bringing in an external consultant to reassess the timeline. With a report due early 2027, officials are exploring staged openings but stress no decisions have been made. Residents frustrated by delays are watching closely as repairs begin and a full update is expected at the next transit committee meeting.
