Starting June 29, 2026, Hydro Ottawa will begin upgrading electrical infrastructure on McArthur Avenue, between Olmstead Street and St. Laurent Boulevard. This critical infrastructure is essential for maintaining the long-term stability of the electrical distribution system in the area. The project has an estimated completion date of February 12, 2027. Residents may notice an increased construction presence and traffic control measures, including lane reductions and sidewalk closure, to ensure the safety of residents and crews. Construction activities will take place on the City of Ottawa Road Right-of-Way, in rear yards, and on Hydro Ottawa easements. As this project advances, planned power outages may be required to complete the work safely. Hydro Ottawa staff will conduct this work safely and efficiently to ensure any inconvenience is kept to a minimum.
