AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
The Canada Day floods caused significant damage to Ottawa's O-Train West Extension, potentially delaying its opening. CTV's Leah Larocque reports that OC Transpo General Manager Rick Leary says damage extends beyond the tracks to the ballast, signalling system and overhead wiring. Crews are now assessing what needs to be repaired and what must be replaced, with a partial opening still possible. A firm repair schedule is expected to be addressed in early 2027.
