The O-Train Confederation Line project is the first stage in Ottawa’s future light rail network. The 12.5 kilometre electric rail system will replace existing diesel powered buses, providing rapid transit between Blair Station in the east and Tunney’s Pasture Station in the west. The route includes 13 stations and a 2.5 kilometre tunnel that will alleviate congestion through the downtown core. This look-ahead outlines the construction activities through 2016.

Construction has been divided into three segments along the Light Rail Transit (LRT) alignment corridor:

• East Segment (includes Blair, Cyrville, St-Laurent, Tremblay, Hurdman, and Lees stations and the Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility)

• Central Segment (includes uOttawa, Rideau, Parliament, and Lyon stations and the 2.5 kilometre tunnel where, this year, work on the caverns, stations and running tunnel will continue)

• West Segment (includes Pimisi, Bayview and Tunney’s Pasture stations)

Construction on the Confederation Line began in 2013 and is on schedule. Works continue in all segments.

In 2016, a number of significant construction activities will occur:

•The Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility will be completed.

• The last section of running tunnel between Rideau and Parliament stations will be excavated.

• Construction of stations in the east segment and integrated stations in the central segment will continue. Station construction will begin in the west segment.

•Work on the guideway will continue across the O-Train Confederation Line alignment.

•Queen Street renewal works will begin.

* Definitions:

Traction Power Sub Station (TPSS): TPSS structures are approximately four metres high by five metres wide by 15 metres long. TPSS structures convert electricity from local power sources to the voltage levels needed by the light rail vehicles.

Superstructure: Superstructure construction involves work to the aboveground structure.

Overhead Catenary System (OCS): OCS is a system of overhead wires used to supply electricity to light rail vehicles.

Guideway: The O-Train Confederation Line’s ‘guideway’ is the footprint along which the light rail vehicles will travel.

Architectural finishes: Architectural finishes involve doors, masonry, millwork and flooring.
