Part of LRT tunnel to close again this weekend
Downtown R1 route slightly changes on Sunday for cycling fundraiser
The Confederation Line will be closed again between Hurdman and Parliament stations this Saturday and Sunday for work on the tunnel.
The closure on May 6 and 7 will allow Rideau Transit Group to determine "the scope of required repairs to prevent water infiltration in sections of the tunnel," according to the city, similar to why the tunnel closed the previous weekend.
There is more scheduled tunnel maintenance on unspecified dates next month.
Trains will continue to run on both ends of the closure, between Tunney's Pasture and Parliament stations in the west and between Hurdman and Blair stations in the east, according to the memo.
R1 bus service will run between Hurdman and Lyon stations.
From 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, R1 buses shift from Rideau Street to the Mackenzie King Bridge and eastbound R1 buses will stop at Slater and Kent streets instead of Lyon station because of the CN Cycle for CHEO fundraiser.
That event will result in various lane reductions and closures along the route, starting at 6 a.m. Sunday and ending at 1 p.m.
The CN Cycle for CHEO annual fundraiser will be taking place this Sunday, May 7.<br>The cycling event starts and ends at the Canadian War Museum and involves temporary rolling lane reductions and closures from 6 am to 1 pm.<br>For more info: <a href="https://t.co/rLJM0412t7">https://t.co/rLJM0412t7</a> <a href="https://t.co/m0t3w0Jyxj">pic.twitter.com/m0t3w0Jyxj</a>
