OC Transpo, the public transit authority for Ottawa, is evaluating the possibility of partially reopening the west extension of the O-Train due to significant flooding damage sustained during Canada Day celebrations. The decision comes amid ongoing efforts to assess the extent of the damage caused by heavy rainfall and water accumulation on the tracks. Officials have confirmed that while the full extension remains closed, certain sections may be operational to accommodate essential travel needs. The flooding, which occurred on June 25, 2026, led to temporary shutdowns of the O-Train service, disrupting commutes for thousands of residents. Engineers are currently conducting inspections to determine the safety of resuming limited operations. The partial reopening would prioritize routes with the least structural damage, ensuring passenger safety while minimizing further delays. This development highlights the challenges of maintaining infrastructure during extreme weather events and underscores the importance of adaptive transit planning. Residents are advised to monitor official updates for specific service changes and to consider alternative transportation options during the transition period.
