Hurdman station

Hurdman station is a stop on Ottawa's bus transitway which is presently undergoing substantial renovation to accommodate light rail. Hurdman is one of the transitway's busiest stations, as it is the main hub of the transitway network east of downtown. Hurdman is where the main transitway route from downtown to the west branches off in two directions: one to the east toward Orléans and the other toward South Ottawa. Express buses serving Kanata and Barrhaven have Hurdman Station as the downtown terminus. The station is located just southeast of Hurdman Bridge where the Queensway 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 tall grassy meadows, with only a few apartment buildings on nearby Riverside Drive. To the immediate south are two large artificial hills covering a former city landfill.

Hurdman Station, was opened in 1983 as part of the first phase of Ottawa's bus transitway. The original station was closed in September 2015 and has been 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.

Effective 28 June 2015, the Transitway between Hurdman Station and Blair Station is closed until 2018, meaning routes either end at Blair Station or Hurdman Station, or travel via Ottawa Road 174 to/from downtown. As well, all east-end express routes do not serve St. Laurent Station eastbound toward Orleans, and west-end express/peak routes start at Campus Station in the afternoon.
