OC Transpo adjusts Transitway routes between Merton Street and Empress Avenue for O-Train Confederation Line construction

Starting Sunday, January 17, the next phase of OC Transpo route adjustments to accommodate O-Train Confederation Line construction will take effect. These adjustments require the closure of the Transitway roadway just west of downtown, between Merton Street and Empress Avenue. Buses will be adjusted to run on the newly constructed bus-only lanes along Scott and Albert Streets.

Changes have been designed to maintain important connections for customers and minimize the number of buses running on Scott Street. Most customers using this section of the Transitway will have a slightly longer travel time. They will also see changes to the platform locations at Bayview and LeBreton Stations, which move south to Albert Street.

All customers are encouraged to visit octranspo.com and use the new travel planner to see if their trips are affected. ** On Track 2018 – Confederation Line Construction ** ** ** ** January 17 – Summary of Changes ** ** **
