Ottawa’s long-awaited LRT system will move from paper to concrete reality in 2017.
The Confederation Line’s years-long construction process will largely wrap up next year, according to Steve Cripps, the director of the light rail implementation office.
“By the end of 2017, the majority of the true construction or the heavy civil work will be complete,” he said. “It’s going to look like a light rail system and you’re going to see trains on the line.”
