An exclusive look at the exciting developments on O-Train Line 2 in Ottawa. Set to reopen later in 2023, this major project is reaching its final stages, with construction activities nearing completion and the testing and commissioning phase well underway.
Rail Fans Canada had the privilege of being invited to explore the future terminus station at Limebank, and we are thrilled to share our experience with you. The O-Train Line 2 expansion will significantly extend the line from its original 8km to an impressive 20km, incorporating a total of 11 new and existing stations.
One unique aspect of this expansion is the inclusion of several elevated segments along the line, adding a touch of architectural distinction to the overall design. Additionally, there is an exciting bonus for travelers—the introduction of a separate spur line, Line 4, also known as the Airport Link. This convenient link will connect the South Keys Station to the airport, allowing seamless access to the O-Train network for airport passengers. Line 4 will span a distance of 4km and feature three stations, including South Keys.
In this video, we will take you on a walkthrough tour of Limebank station, offering you an up-close look at the future terminus station. We will also have the privilege of interviewing Theophilus Tettey, the Program Manager of the Rail Construction Program at the City of Ottawa. With his expertise and insights, we will gain a deeper understanding of the construction process and the exciting features that await passengers on the expanded O-Train Line 2.
Join us on this exciting journey as we delve into the progress and innovation surrounding the O-Train Line 2 expansion. Get ready to witness the transformation of Ottawa's transportation infrastructure and catch a glimpse of what's in store for commuters and rail enthusiasts alike.
