Trains will continue to run through St-Laurent Station on Tuesday, but won't stop there. Ottawa's light rail trains will continue to skip St-Laurent station on Tuesday, as engineers complete repairs on delaminated ceiling tiles above the platform.
The station has been closed to commuters since Friday morning after routine inspection found "a few of the suspended ceiling tiles above the platform were disrupted," according to Richard Holder, director of engineering services at OC Transpo.The station may reopen Wednesday, but its reopening is dependant on the removal of the affected tiles, completion of work, and an inspection to ensure there is no remaining safety hazard.
Work is still underway, according to the memo, and expected to continue into the night after trains stop running, so engineers have safe access to electrified areas. CBC reported the city did not patch up some problem areas for years after the issues were observed in 2020.
