Starting at 7:30 pm Sunday, the OC Transpo Transitway reopened after Friday's fatal accident at Westboro.
It had been closed between Lincoln Fields and Westboro immediately after the two-stage collision that killed three people and injured 23 others.
According to the City of Ottawa, customers will be able to access service as usual on the platforms starting Sunday night.
The Transitway and all stations will reopen at 7:30 pm tonight. OC Transpo staff will be on hand tonight and tomorrow to help customers. Public health staff will also be available to help runners deal with mental health issues resulting from the Friday accident.
