The City of Ottawa says that partial service on the Confederation Line LRT will resume Friday, barring any complications during testing on Wednesday.
A city memo says testing has been progressing well and if testing is completed successfully on Wednesday, service will be back up and running Friday with seven trains. Final confirmation of the resumption of service will be delivered Wednesday.
The LRT has been shut down since a derailment on Sept. 19.
In the memo, city manager Steve Kanellakos said the past two days of testing on the line have been positive.
"Testing continues (Wednesday), and if the results remain consistent, the City will resume revenue service on Line 1. Final confirmation of this date is contingent on the successful completion of testing and pending final validation by TRA," Kanellakos said.
