Here's what you need to know about the planned O-Train shutdown.

The O-Train will be shut down in both directions between Tunney's Pasture and Rideau stations from July 15 to July 28.

OC Transpo says Rideau Transit Group will be conducting annual maintenance on the line through the two-week shutdown.

"All rail systems do require periodic, temporary shutdowns and partial closures. Not all the maintenance work can be conducted in the short engineering hours they have when the trains are not operating," Troy Charter, director of Transit Service Delivery and Rail Operations, told the Transit Commission in June.

"For the upcoming summer track and maintenance work, the primary reason for this work is to advance corrective measures as well as address deficiencies that have been identified."
