The Stage 2 Light Rail project,
when complete, will extend the
O-Train system farther south, east,
and west, adding approximately
44 kilometres of new rail and 24
new stations.
Stage 2 is a package of three
extensions—south, east, and west:
• The O-Train South extension will
see rail service continue from
Greenboro to Limebank in Riverside South, while adding a link
to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier
International Airport.
• The O-Train East extension will see LRT continue from Blair to Place d’Orléans
Station, and then all the way to Trim Road
• The O-Train West extension will see LRT continue from Tunney’s Pasture to Moodie
and Baseline Stations.
The first portion of the project, the Trillium Line, was handed over to the City
of Ottawa in 2023. The second segment, Confederation Line East, is planned for
handover at the end of 2024.
