The original contract called for completion in August 2022, meaning Ottawa\u0027s Trillium Line will now be more than one year late.
Handover of the train between Bayview Station and Limebank is now not expected until “the end of the year,” according to a memo sent to city council Wednesday afternoon from Michael Morgan, director of rail construction., Morgan said service could have begun as soon as October.
Track work on the new line is complete but signal testing — a bugaboo of nearly every urban rail project — has been painfully slow. Handover of the Trillium Line hinged on whether the builder could meet a key August testing deadline. The delay crushes the hopes of Carleton University students who may have been planning to take the LRT to classes this fall. Airport travellers, too, will have to wait a little longer for a train ride to and from their flights.
