38 ReNew Canada
The Stage 2 Light Rail project will provide the foundation for
the National Capital Region’s growth and evolution through the
twenty-first century. Stage 2, when complete, will extend the
O-Train system farther south, east, and west, adding approximately 44 kilometres of new rail and 24 new stations. With the
completion of Stage 2, 77 per cent of Ottawa residents will live
within five kilometres of fast, efficient, clean, and reliable light
rail service. The system will carry up to 24,000 customers per
hour, per direction during peak periods to, from and through
Ottawa’s downtown core.
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, is planned
for handover to the City of Ottawa in 2023. The second segment, Confederation Line East, is planned for handover at the
end of 2024.
Metrolinx
The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is an approximately
9.2-kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (future
Line 5), from Mount Dennis to Renforth Drive. Metrolinx is actively collaborating with the GTAA and municipal partners on
the proposed alignment from Renforth Drive to the airport,
which considers the GTAA’s plans for a Regional Transit Centre.
Tunnelling is one of the first phases of work for the project.
The project is being delivered in four separate contracts:
• Advance Tunnelling DBF contract awarded to West End Connectors in May 2021
• Second Advance Tunnelling DBF contract currently in procurement
• Elevated Guideway DB contract currently in procurement
• Stations and remaining works (procurement dates TBD)
