Starting Sunday, Preston Street will be extended from Albert Street to the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway as part of an alternative route as Booth Street is closed during to the Confederation Line LRT project.
Also during the LRT construction, the LeBreton Transitway station will move from Booth to the new Preston intersection.
The Preston Street extension will provide an alternate route to connect to the Chaudière Bridge.
A multi-use pathway on the extension will offer cyclists and pedestrians a connection between the Albert Street multi-use pathway and the Ottawa River Pathway/Trans Canada Trail.
The Transitway will remain open through the LRT construction work. Full details about routes affected by this change are available at octranspo.com .
Access to the Canadian War Museum will not be affected. Visitors are encouraged to visit the Museum website to determine their best route.
