OLRT Phase 1
The Ottawa Light Rail Transit is a $2.1 billion Phase 1 infrastructure initiative by the Rideau Transit Group and the City of Ottawa; the largest infrastructure project in the Ottawa since the construction of the Rideau Canal. Titled the Confederation Line, Phase 1 of this project will be a total of 12.5 kilometers of rail complete with new 12 meter long Alstom Citadis Spirit trains currently being constructed at Belfast Yard. This new rail system also includes widening of major roads and bridges to accommodate the rerouting of existing public transit buses.
In addition to creating an improved public transit system for the City, this project has also greatly contributed to Ottawa’s economical development, employing over 800 trades’ personnel throughout the construction of the rail line.
Our Role

We are proud to have been able to contribute to this revolutionary project for the City of Ottawa.
