Replacement bus service will operate “frequently” during a two-week period in June while the Rideau Transit Group performs regular maintenance on LRT Line 1, Transit Services general manager Renée Amilcar said in a memo to city council Tuesday.

The work, to take place June 5-19, according to the memo, will include: Work to address water infiltration in the tunnel, east of Rideau Station; annual rail grinding across the entire line to reduce noise and vibration; overhead Catenary System, switch and track related maintenance and inspections; removal of vegetation within the guideway; general maintenance and cleaning activities, including the cleaning of glass and artwork; and paint removal at specific locations in downtown tunnel stations, concrete and tile repairs.

Line 1 LRT service will continue during the maintenance, which will take place in the evening hours to minimize the impact on customer travel, but there will be eight days when bus service will be operational on part of the line for a full day, the memo said.
