A southward expansion of Ottawa’s light-rail transit system that includes a stop at the airport is facing fresh delays, and will not open until November at the earliest.

A public transit official said Wednesday in a memo to Ottawa’s mayor and city council that a date for the opening of the north-south Trillium Line won’t be announced until the project is transferred from the builder to the city.
