O-Train West Delayed by Historic Flood | Ottawa News
Description
A once-in-200-years storm hit Moodie Station on Canada Day, flooding the O-Train West Extension site with over 100mm of rain—far beyond its flood defenses. Rocks supporting the tracks were washed away, electrical systems and overhead lines were damaged, and months of work are now undone. City officials are bringing in consultants to reassess the timeline for the 2027 opening, considering options like a staged launch. Extreme weather has exposed even modern infrastructure’s vulnerabilities, delaying progress and impacting commuters eagerly awaiting the new transit line.
