The consortium building Ottawa’s light rail transit (LRT) Confederation Line says it will finish construction work in the first quarter of 2019.
The new date was announced Thursday evening in a memo to the city council from rail construction program director Michael Morgan. Ottawa had expected the consortium, Rideau Transit Group (RTG), to provide a new handover date for the $2.1 billion LRT line on Wednesday, Jan. 2. But RTG requested more time. Ottawa gave RTG a one-day extension.
