Hurdman is a mass transit station on Ottawa's O-Train Confederation Line, and bus rapid transit (BRT) system, transitway. It underwent substantial renovation to accommodate light rail.

Location

The station is located just southeast of Hurdman Bridge where the Highway 417 crosses the Rideau River. It is also located near the intersection of Industrial Avenue and Riverside Drive/Vanier Parkway.

There are connections from Hurdman Station to the nearby neighbourhood of Riverview to the east with a bus-only road connecting to Alta Vista Drive. There are also connections for bicycle users, as Hurdman Station is located very closely to the Rideau River bicycle path.

The station and nearby landmarks Hurdman Park, Hurdman Street, and Hurdman Bridge are named for the early settlers of the region. The station featured a small convenience store which closed with the original station. The site is relatively isolated, being almost completely surrounded by protected green space, with a few high-rise building on adjacent Riverside Drive. To the immediate south are two large artificial hills covering a former city landfill.

Transitway

Hurdman Station was opened in 1983 as part of the first phase of Ottawa's bus rapid transitway. It was one of the transitway's busiest stations. Previously, it was the station where the main transitway route from downtown to the west branched off in two directions: one to the east toward Orléans and the other toward South Ottawa. Connexion routes serving Kanata and Barrhaven used to have Hurdman Station as the downtown terminus before September 2013.

The original station was closed in September 2015 and was replaced with a temporary station for the duration of construction of the O-Train's Confederation Line. Demolition of the old station structure was completed in November 2015.

It fully reopened on September 14, 2019, when Confederation Line service began. It remains the terminus of the transitway to South Ottawa, as well as serving local lines.

Layout

Hurdman is an elevated side platform station; a large concourse is located at ground level and contains the ticket barrier, as well as fare-paid zone access to the Transitway terminal loop, allowing transfer between buses and the train without needing to show a transfer. Additional stairwells at the western end of the platforms give direct access to the Transitway terminal.

The station's artwork, Coordinated Movement by Jill Anholt, is a curved sculpture suspended along the station access opposite the ticket barrier.
